Two statements by Delroy Chuck in Parliament last week are in need of clarification, and perhaps, with respect to the second, a correction of the record.

In his contribution to the sector debates, Mr Chuck, the legal and constitutional affairs minister, addressed the old debate over whether Jamaica should leave the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC), and if it does, what should be the island’s final court. He expressed a preference for a domestic, or Jamaican final court.
