[2012] UKPC 4

The Court of Appeal (Trinidad and Tobago) had erred in finding that the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago s.6(1)(a) precluded detainees from challenging the manner of the execution of their detention on the ground that the failure to review the sentence and detention resulted in a breach of their rights under s.4 and s.5 of the Constitution. They were entitled to a declaration that their constitutional rights had been breached by the failure to conduct such reviews.
