Chairman of the Police Federation Corporal Rohan James was interdicted following comments he made in July last year at a funeral for a colleague.
Chairman of the Police Federation Corporal Rohan James will continue to stay off the job arising from an order granted to Assistant Commissioner of Police Andrew Lewis.
The Court of Appeal in granting ACP Lewis leave on Wednesday to appeal, set aside the stay of interdiction previously granted to Corporal James by Supreme Court Judge Tara Carr.
ACP Lewis, a respondent in the suit relating to the interdiction of Corporal James, had filed an application for leave to appeal against the stay of interdiction.
The Court of Appeal in discharging the stay ordered that ACP Lewis must file his appeal before January 31.
The court in granting leave formed the view that ACP Lewis has a viable appeal and that the decision to interdict a member of the police force may not be amenable to a stay of proceedings order.
The judges were President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Patrick Brooks, Justice Frank Williams and Justice Lorna Shelly Williams.
Corporal James was interdicted following comments he made in July last year at a funeral for a colleague.
He criticised the Police High Command for failing to pay overtime money due to the cops.
