QUEEN’S COUNSEL RALPH THORNE began his challenge of a court ruling against 14 policemen yesterday.
He told the Court of Appeal his purpose was “not only to pursue the rights of these upstanding officers, but to bring some clarity to the jurisprudence of this country”.
The attorney said the public and claimants were “due some final clarification in the law that now condones that kind of conduct on the part of . . . the Police Service Commission (PSC)”.
Last December 23, a High Court judge dismissed the four-year-old case in which the 14 officers challenged their omission from promotions after their names were originally submitted on a list under Commissioner Darwin Dottin. Dottin was subsequently suspended and eventually another batch of officers recommended for elevation. (TKS)
