I must confess that I do not read the daily newspapers published in Trinidad and Tobago as often as I should, and my opinions were based on Gregory's description of the conclusion. I have only now seen the source of the subject phrase, which is, what the judge used in part to describe the actions of the NCC which resulted in litigation initiated by Pan Trinbago being successful. In my unlearned opinion, what I suspect the judge may be attempting to convey is that the actions of the NCC in denying Pan Trinbago the rights to the gate receipts they would have collected at the last panorama;
Made No Sense, as they did not do their homework, and were woefully unaware of their limitations in that regard as it relates to a cabinet decision taken in 1997. (Perfunctory)
They, The NCC, and by extension The Minister, had no specific or stated aim, or reason for withholding the said gate receipts from Pan Trinbago, and the arguments that may have been presented by their legal counsel for taking such actions were baseless. (Unfocused)
That the decision to withhold the said gate receipts was undoubtedly a last minute decision which may not have been given any serious consideration or thought prior to implementation, and which quite likely (although not expressly stated) may have been unilaterally taken, by the chairman of The NCC on the advice of the minister, an opinion that may have been formed based on advice the minister may have received from the chairman, and not as a result of consensus. In other words, or in simple language, it was just "Badmine". (Last Minuite)
The reason for the laughter, is because those three words, in addition to further explanations given by the judge in justifying the outcome of the matter, may be perfectly aligned with my outlook on the matter. It justifies my suggestion that;
The NCC was always spinning top in mud.
The NCC's lawyer was always taking them down a dead end road
The NCC was wasting taxpayers money, and panmen's time.
Although the judge would have expressed concern in this manner;
"According to the judge, the real “tension” in the case was the State’s concern over PanTrinbago’s ability to properly exercise financial and managerial prudence in the management of their affairs especially during a time when a “shrinking economy” brings about concerns of financial prudence and accountability."
Which I interpret to mean, that although in the judge's mind, the concerns expressed by the CIP, The Kenny De Silva led NCC, and maybe the Minister, are credible, the manner in which those opposed to Keith Diaz 's stewardship went about their attempt to ensure transparency and accountability by the sitting Pan Trinbago Executive is not in accordance with "The Letter of The Law", which may justify my opinion that the NCC's lawyer was incompetent. In other words, the manner in which they believe that could put a spoke in Diaz's wheel is not in accordance with the law, considering the legal framework within which Pan Trinbago was incorporated, and the laws enshrined in its constitution that govern its function and operation.
It may not be unreasonable to conclude that my advice to Aquil to acquire the advice, and services, of the best constitutional lawyer available (Ramesh seems to be already taken) providing that funding for legal fees are available in the absence of a pro bono offer, may be the only way Keith Diaz's opponents could fight any meaningful battle that could give them a chance of winning the war in the absence of the 30% casualty theory.
