Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) president Justice Winston Charles Anderson has been accused by a majority of his fellow judges of governing the regional court in an “authoritarian” and “dictatorial” manner.The complaints range from unilaterally imposing a judicial dress code to allegations of “panel fixing” and attempts to influence the outcome of cases.Internal correspondence exclusively obtained by the Sunday Express shows that five of the CCJ’s six sitting judges challenged Justice Anderson’s leadership, with one warning of “creeping patterns of anti-democratic approaches” and another calling for an urgent meeting to address “a level of disenchantment that may well be approaching a crisis point if left unaddressed”.
