Here is an extract from LL letter in today's SN in blue

It is opportune to remind this society that when the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court’s decision in the Seeram Teamal v GuySuCo and the State, the Desmond Hoyte administration respected its decision. It can also be said Hoyte did not take a ruling against his administration personally, for he later went on to appoint Chancellor Keith Massiah, who upheld the High Court’s decision, as Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs in his administration. This country has the benefit of this precedent, and it must not be recorded as an anomaly in the system, but must become the norm when it comes to the rule of law. The right of the litigant to appeal what he considers he did not ask the Chief Justice to rule on is respected, for it represents a civil approach in respecting the authority and processes of the judicial branch.

I believe that Hoyte did not honour the court's decision, but went to parliament and passed a retrospective law so as not to pay the sugar workers their increment lincoln Lewis continues to peddle this lie.
