Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago: It is with profound sadness that the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago (Industrial Court) announces the passing of one of its long-serving judges, Her Honour Ms. Bindimattie Mahabir. Her Honour was a distinguished Member who dedicated over two and a half decades of service to the Court, having been appointed as a Member in the General Services Division of the Industrial Court in October 2000.

The President, all her colleagues on the bench and the entire Industrial Court extend its deepest condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Her Honour Ms. Bindimattie Mahabir during this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace.
