Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of Cari-Med and Digicel blocking injunctions filed by employees. The employees were seeking to prevent both companies from enforcing their mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies.
Lawsuits were filed on the basis that the policies are unconstitutional. The court subsequently found that there were no breaches of the constitution. President of the Jamaica Employers’ Federation, David Wan says the blocking of two injunctions by the Supreme Court is encouraging, as the pandemic rages on.
He notes that this is the second time the court is ruling in favor of the employers.
Justice Wint-Blair who heard both cases ruled that given the potential harm to society. It is not convenient to grant the application for an injunction barring the enforcement of the mandatory vaccination policy. Wan says though he is sympathetic towards the employees’ claims, he suggests that the vaccine is part of a prevailing greater good.
