The following additional cases were cited in argument:Allman V. Thornhill (unreported), December 22, 1976, Court of Appeal of Trinidad andTobago.Attorney-General v. Antigua Times Ltd [1976] A.C. 16; [1975] 3 W.L.R. 232; [1975] 3All E.R. 81, P.CThompson v. Kiysvukke (1960) 362 U.S. 199.APPEAL (No. 21 of 1977) by Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj from the judgment and order(May 5, 1977) of the Court of Appeal of Trinidad and Tobago (Hyatali C.J. and Corbin J.A,. Phillips J.A. dissenting) dismissing his appeal form an order of Scott J. (July 23,1975) dismissing his application by notice of motion on April 17, 1975, to the High Courtunder section 6 of the Constitution seeking redress for the contravention of hisconstitutional rights protected by section 1 of the Constitution and naming the Attorney-General as respondent.The facts are stated in the judgment of the majority of their LordshipsDavid Turner-Samuels Q.C. Fenton Ramsahoye S.C (of the Trinidad and Tobago Bar)and William Birtles for the appellant. The provisions of Chapter 1 of the Constitutiondealing with fundamental rights and freedoms impose a fetter on the exercise by thejudiciary of their powers; see Hinds v. The Queen [1977] A.C 195, 213. nothing in theexisting law permitted the procedure adopted in the instant case and there was acontravention of the due process provisions of section 1 and 2 of the constitution. Theframers of the Constitution intended that by virtue of section 6 there should be redress forany contravention by anyone of the fundamental rights and freedoms contained in section1 and 2. section 6 should be construed to give effect to the intention. A declarationand/or damages would be appropriated redress under section 6: subsection (2) is animportant procedural aspect of the section because a court might think the Attorney-General a proper part as regards a declaration but not as regards damages. Aconstitutional remedy should not be permitted to fail for want of an appropriaterespondent, i.e ; if in any case the appropriate respondent has not been joined.58
A defendant is always entitled to know what offense he is charged with and if he is nottold there is a fundamental failure of due process: a bare charged of contempt is notspecific enough. As to due process, see Allman v. Thornhill (unreported), December 22,1976, de Freitas v. Benny [1976] A.C. 239 and Thompson v. Lousville (1960) 362 US199.“Redress” in section 6 of the Constitution is not a tem of art: for its ordinary meaning, seeThe Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 3 rd ed. (1944). The appellant adopts thereasoning in Jaundoo v. Attorney-General of Guyana [1971] A.C 972, 982, 983. Theword is used in its widest possible sense and entitles and requires the court to give relief2.
