- Justice Jacob Wit Dies
The Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of retired Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice, the Honourable Mr. Justice Jacob Wit. He was an esteemed presence in the legal community, and his passing is a great loss for the Caribbean region.
In September of 2023, we had the pleasure of Justice Wit’s company at our Special Sitting for the Opening of the 2023-2024 Law Term.
This was not the first time that Justice Wit had been at the Industrial Court. In 2015, he led a team of trainee Judges from the Dutch Caribbean on a courtesy visit where they were able to learn more about our operations and interact with several of our Judges.
The President, Judges, Registrar and Staff of the Industrial Court extend their deepest condolences to his colleagues at the Caribbean Court of Justice, his loved ones and all those who mourn his passing. We pray that his soul will find eternal rest.
