The Supreme Court has made a landmark decision, striking down the second tenure extension of Director of Public Prosecutions, Paula Llewellyn.
Justices Sonya Wint Blair, Simone Wolfe Reece, and Tricia Hutchinson Shelly ruled that the extension granted by the Holness administration last July violated the Jamaican constitution.
The court upheld the overall increase in the retirement age but found the government’s action in granting the second extension unlawful.
This ruling stems from a high-profile legal challenge filed by the Opposition People’s National Party,PNP , led by Phillip Paulwell and Peter Bunting.
