Eminent Indian jurist B.N. Srikrishna has urged Trinidad and Tobago to fully adopt the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) as its final court of appeal rather than the Privy Council in London. “What are you waiting for,” asked Justice Srikrishna, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, at a symposium hosted by the Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago that was aimed at encouraging the Government to suitably amend the Constitution to elevate the CCJ as the final court of appeal. Noting that India had replaced the Privy Council as its final court of appeal by the Federal Court of India -- now the Supreme Court of India -- just two years after gaining independence from Britain in 1947, Justice Srikrishna asked: “Why should a sovereign state allow its former master to be the final arbitrator?”
