Would Rowley call his Cabinet lawyers 'bottom feeders'?
The Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago is coming out in defence of attorneys who it says have been the subjects of derogatory remarks by National Security Minister Stuart Young and Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.Addressing the legal costs associated with defending legal claims made by migrants, Rowley informed the public that whereas when the State wins a case in Court it does not recover its legal costs against the unsuccessful litigant, when the State loses and is ordered to pay costs, he said, "it is a bonanza for the lawyers who troll with the other bottom feeders there."
The LATT said: "Presumably, the Honourable Prime Minister would not characterise as "bottom feeders" the lawyers in his Cabinet, or those who represent him in court, or from whom he takes advice or with whom he otherwise associates.
