The Industrial Court injunction, preventing the termination of Petrotrin's 5,000 employees by the end of the month, has been stayed by the Court of Appeal.

The application for the stay was heard by Justice of Appeal Charmaine Pemberton at a chamber court at the Hall of Justice, Port of Spain on Wednesday. She delivered her ruling just after 11:30pm.

At a marathon session, Petrotrin's lawyers, led by Reginald Armour, SC, sought to convince the judge that the stay was necessary since it is the company's contention that the Industrial Court made several errors in law when it granted the injunction on Monday.

A hearing of the appeal of the injunction is set for next week.
