Attorney General John Jeremie has retracted the State’s appeal against a High Court ruling in favour of firearms dealer Brent Thomas, potentially leading to multi-million-dollar settlement negotiations. Jeremie instructed the Solicitor General to inform the Court of Appeal about the withdrawal, expressing the State’s intention to discuss constitutional damages and costs in good faith, and also issued an apology. Thomas was arrested in Barbados in October 2022, on seven firearm-related charges. He disputed these, citing legal permits for the items. After suing the state in November 2022, by April 2023, Justice Devindra Rampersad pronounced all charges void, describing the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service’s actions as a deliberate humiliation. The compensation amount is still to be decided.
