Court rules to allow another judicial review against CoP by Nicholas Tranquille
A previous decision by Judge Vicki Ann Ellis to strike down Mr Tranquille’s application was reversed yesterday, October 2, 2015 and Tranquille has now been given two weeks to file judicial review proceedings against the decision by Mr Morris who has since vacated the position and has left the territory.
The former Commissioner of Police, Morris, was accused of denying Mr Tranquille promotion to the rank of sergeant despite a previous court ruling that ordered Mr Morris to reconsider his decision to not promote Mr Tranquille without him writing an examination.
However, when Mr Tranquille moved to the High Court for leave for another judicial review his application was denied by Justice Vicki Ann Ellis.
Mr Tranquille then successfully moved to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court of Appeal to have the decision reversed.
"Essentially what Tranquille was asking for is the examination be waived because when the last examination was held he was out of the country on state duties, not on his personal matters but on state duties," his attorney Mr Ruggles Ferguson stated.
Tranquille’s response to the outcome of yesterday's decision at the Court of Appeal was one of many thanks to the justice system while noting his success in the process thus far is one that can be seen as a victory for not only him.
"It's a victory for not only Tranquille, it's not all about Tranquille, it's about a principle involved here and it's a victory for every one of us that sometimes finds ourselves at the end of the injustice of any given system," Ferguson said.

Instead of trying to better himself he hires a lawyer and tries to get around having to sit the exam. He should not be promoted. He should be relieved from his job!
