Come 2019, Judges from the Commonwealth could be sitting on the benches in Trinidad and Tobago. This, as Government has given the green light for the President to proclaim the Miscellaneous Provisions Supreme Court of Judicature and Children Act 2018. Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi says this will see an increased capacity of the Judiciary by 77%. Under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act, the Chief Justice has the opportunity to create specialised courts. Cabinet has also given the green light for the Criminal Procedure Plea Discussion and Plea Agreement Act 2018 to be proclaimed. This will allow people who want to plead guilty to put a plea arrangement into effect.
