After it was revealed that the Barbados government has accepted liability in the Brent Thomas matter, Attorney General Reginald Armour says he has every confidence that the Attorney General of Barbados Dale Marshall SC, is acting in the best interest of his country. However, Armour said, he has no intention of offering an opinion on the matter.
“I have noted the statements in the media attributed to Barbados AG Dale Marshall SC. I trust that his actions are based on the information at his disposal and the guidance of legal counsel,” AG Armour said on Monday in response to questions from Guardian Media, following the revelation that Barbados has accepted legal liability in Thomas' lawsuit against the state.
Armour clarified that the decision by the Barbados government to accept liability has no impact on the matter involving Trinidad and Tobago’s government.
“The matter involving the State (GORTT) is currently before the Courts of Trinidad and Tobago, is sub judicé and as such, it is prohibited from public discussion or comment,” he said.
