| Case Law: | [1969] Collymore and another v. The Attorney-General [Privy Council]. The appellants contended that the right given by s.10 (2) of the Industrial Stabilization Act to a public officer to enter the business premises of a trade union infringed the right of the individual to privacy. The application was dismissed. An appeal was also dismissed, [reported as 12 WIR 5]. The Privy Council lordships think that a trade union in Trinidad appears to be simply an unincorporated society, and each individual member may be said therefore to be affected by the power which s.10(2) originally gave to the Attorney General. But since this power has now been taken away, no further discussion on this point seems to be called for. [Reported as 15 WIR 229.] |
