Less than a week after the announcement that Queen’s Counsel and King’s Counsel designations would be scrapped and replaced with Senior Counsel, a proposal has been made that six attorneys, including Minister of Home Affairs Wilfred Abrahams and two sitting parliamentarians, should be granted the title.
Member of Parliament for St James North Edmund Hinkson and parliamentary representative for St Michael Central Arthur Holder along with former parliamentarian Rudolph Cappy Greenidge have been selected, according to a September 4, 2023 document obtained by Barbados TODAY.
The State House document, under the title Appointment of Senior Counsel, indicates that acting on the advice of the Prime Minister, President Dame Sandra Mason had proposed to grant the honour to the listed attorneys-at-law.
The other eight identified were Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Alliston Seale, Deputy Chairman of the Employment Rights Tribunal Kathy-Ann Hamblin, Tammy Bryan, Gillian Clarke, Anika Jackson, Stephen Lashley, Angella Mitchell-Gittens, and Liesel Weekes.
