EDITOR, The Tribune
Were it not for the tragic context, it would be difficult not to see the humour in a country so comically backward that its court system can be used to stop the government’s demolition of illegal, substandard shanty towns, only to have them demolished by a Hurricane between hearings, killing hundreds.
When an institution’s function becomes clearly and obviously divergent from the daily realities and vital interests of the community it serves, it is time to consider doing things differently. The absurd overuse of the ‘contempt’ mechanism by our courts to shield the institution from societal scrutiny has led to ever wider divergence on many fronts. You may even be (needlessly) fearful of printing this letter.

Dorian did what no judicial review could prevent. No judge, No Fred Smith. can stop the hand of God.
