He (Anthony) is reportedly bewildered by what he views as a "disingenuous" contention to avoid political influence in the case of the CCJ. Anthony said: "If indeed, the CCJ is susceptible to political influence-as is being claimed in Jamaica, for instance-then how much more would a Jamaican (or Trinidad and Tobago) final appeal court be affected by political manipulations?" The St Lucian opposition leader is worried about the future of Caricom when he said, "The prospect, therefore, for realising the full benefits of creating a Caribbean Community, as envisaged by the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, is becoming bleaker and bleaker if we cannot be committed to so compelling a case for the region-wide endorsement."
