Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has hailed Queen's Coun­sel Karl Hud­son-Phillips as a le­gal lu­mi­nary.In her con­do­lence mes­sage, Per­sad-Bisses­sar said his pass­ing "brings to an end an era of le­gal lu­mi­nar­ies in Trinidad and To­ba­go." She said his death was un­ex­pect­ed as a few days ago he went to Lon­don for a fam­i­ly re­union. Hud­son-Phillips was 80."Hud­son-Phillips leaves a void in the le­gal pro­fes­sion in Trinidad and To­ba­go. He was a lawyer par ex­cel­lence and a le­gal lu­mi­nary who brought dig­ni­ty and ho­n­our to his pro­fes­sion.

"He was very ar­tic­u­late and he earned the re­spect of all, the Bench, the Bar and the gen­er­al pub­lic," the Prime Min­is­ter added. Say­ing he served the na­tion well for sev­er­al years Per­sad-Bisses­sar added that al­though he was part of the coali­tion of par­ties which formed the gov­ern­ment in 1986, he nev­er of­fered him­self for po­lit­i­cal of­fice. The PM said he "al­ways of­fered time­ly ad­vice to the le­gal pro­fes­sion (and) he would sure­ly be missed."
