PRIME MINISTER Freundel Stuart last night blasted what he said was a trend of important court documents appearing in the media even before judges had perused them and made a ruling.
He complained about the practice that “when you file a document in court, you file one with the newspaper the same time”, saying this was dealing a blow to the traditions and reputation of the judicial system.
The Prime Minister made the comments in an address at the reopening of the constituency office of Government backbencher James Paul at Fairfield X Road, St Michael.
He called no names but the remarks were viewed by some as an apparent criticism of the recent airing of major documents linked to a lawsuit involving the operations of CLICO, the failed insurance company.
