Custody battle test for CCB

Share post:

A CUSTODY BATTLE over a teenager may set the course for whether the Child Care Board can have blanket immunity on releasing information that could help the defence.

The issue comes out of a recent decision by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in response to a challenge by attorney Tariq Khan after the CCB failed to produce the notes of one of its officers as requested by Khan.

Khan, through legal aid, is representing the mother of the child who was 13 years when the matter first went before Justice Dr Sonia Richards in March 2014.

The father is seeking custody, care and control of the child claiming that the teen was being abused while in the care of the mother. As a result, the court ordered the CCB to investigate and an officer spoke with several persons. (AC)
