CCJ\u00a0Dismisses Claims By British American Policyholders<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.<\/strong>\u00a0Yesterday, the Caribbean Court of Justice delivered its judgment in\u00a0Ellis Richards & Ors. v The State of Trinidad and Tobago\u00a0<\/em>AGOJ2021\/001,\u00a0<\/em>a case in its\u00a0Original Jurisdiction.\u00a0<\/em>Deciding a preliminary point raised at the case management stage, the\u00a0CCJ\u00a0dismissed the majority of the claims brought by policyholders of British American Insurance Company Limited who alleged that Trinidad and Tobago had breached various articles of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas in the aftermath of the collapse of Trinidad and Tobago conglomerate, CL Financial.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Claimants, who were nationals of and institutions established in Antigua and Barbuda and Grenada, argued that\u00a0the measures taken by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago by its intervention in and assistance to CL Financial and its subsidiaries, CLICO Investment Bank Limited, Colonial Life Insurance Company (Trinidad) Limited and British American Insurance Company (Trinidad) Limited were discriminatory and breached Articles 7, 36, 37 and 38 of the Revised Treaty.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Claimants alleged that the bailout measures were taken to rescue CLF and CLICO, CIB and BAT, all subsidiaries registered in Trinidad and Tobago. This same protection was not offered to them as policyholders of British American Insurance Company Limited. Further, the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago took active steps to exclude them from the rescue package.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

They also argued that the measures imposed restrictions on the provision of cross-border insurance services in contravention of Articles 36, 37 and 38 of the Revised Treaty.<\/p>\n

When Trinidad and Tobago filed its defence before the Court, it contended that the actions complained about by the Claimants fell outside the scope of the Revised Treaty. In their view, the actions were \u2018Activities in a Member State involving the exercise of governmental authority\u2019 under Articles 30(2) and (3) and such activities were excluded from the scope of operation of Chapter Three of the Revised Treaty. When this issue was raised at the case management stage, the Court directed the parties to make submissions on two preliminary issues.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

First, assuming, for the sake of argument, the truth of the matters pleaded by the Claimants in their Originating Application, do the actions of the State of Trinidad and Tobago, fall outside the scope of Chapter Three of the Revised Treaty because they fall within the meaning of Article 30(2) and Article 30(3)? And, if the answer was yes, what are the consequences of these proceedings?<\/p>\n

Article 30(2) of the Revised Treaty states that activities in a Member State involving the exercise of governmental authority shall be excluded from the operation Chapter of the Treaty. Article 30(3) further provides that \u2018activities involving the exercise of governmental authority\u2019 means \u2018activities conducted neither on a commercial basis nor in competition with one or more economic enterprises.\u2019<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Explaining the purpose and objectives of Chapter Three of the Revised Treaty, the Court observed that the Chapter addresses four fundamental freedoms or rights that help to form the core of the CARICOM Single Market Economy, namely the right of establishment; the right to provide services; the freedom to move capital and the freedom of movement of Community nationals. \\<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Among those critical elements that advance the object and purpose of the Revised Treaty are the obligations imposed by Chapter Three on Member States and the correlative rights accrued therefrom.<\/p>\n

The Court stated that by carrying out these obligations, the Member States agreed to yield aspects of their sovereignty for the collective good. However, the inclusion of Article 30 in the Treaty made it clear that Member States are still permitted to conduct certain activities which are excluded from the operation of Chapter Three.<\/p>\n

If a Member State engages in these excluded activities, its actions are exempted from the restraints and constraints imposed by the Chapter and the Court can and must so declare.<\/p>\n

From an examination of the Claimant\u2019s pleadings, it appeared that Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s actions were not commercial in nature. There was no suggestion that the intervention by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, was done on a profit-making basis or for the purpose of competing with economic enterprises within Trinidad and Tobago or within the Member States.<\/p>\n

The activities involved, among other things, legal, accounting, and managerial intervention by the Central Bank and the direct use of financial resources of Trinidad and Tobago to mitigate the effects of the financial collapse of CLF, a private entity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In these circumstances, the Court dismissed the claims in relation to the following Articles of the Revised Treaty, namely, Article 36 (alleged breach of duty not to impose new restrictions on the provision of services), Article 37 (alleged breach of duty not to impose discriminatory restrictions on the provision of services) and Article 38 (alleged breach of duty not to impose discriminatory restrictions on banking, insurance and other financial services) and Article 7 (discriminatory treatment) as far as it relates to Chapter Three of the RTC.<\/p>\n

The Claimants\u2019 claim with respect to an alleged breach of Article 184(1)(j) (failure to promote the interests of consumers in the Community) and Article 7 (in so far as it is applicable to that claim) was not dismissed. The Court reserved the issue of costs to the conclusion of the matter.<\/p>\n

The matter was heard by the Honourable Mr Justice Adrian Saunders, President and the Honourable Justices Winston Anderson, Maureen Rajnauth-Lee, Andrew Burgess and Peter Jamadar.<\/p>\n

Mr Simon Davenport KC, Dr. Kenny Anthony, Mr Robert Strang, Mr Gregory Pantin, Mr Matthew Happold, Mr George Kirnon and Mr Miguel Vasquez appeared for the Claimants. Mrs Deborah Peake SC, Ms Tamara Toolsie, Mr Brent James, Mr Murvani Ojah Maharaj and Ms Karissa Singh appeared for the State of Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n
