Concomitant to the principal purpose of this research is an analysis of the Personnel Department’s legally illegitimate contract employment policies, as well as an examination of the negative impact of the labour justice jurisprudence on the employment climate, which entrenches and perpetuates legal uncertainty, contradictions and injustice for both employees and employers. In addition to the Industrial Court, explicated therein, is the unconstitutionality of the Equal Opportunity Tribunal. Ultimately, the continued unconstitutional existence of the Industrial Relations Act, the Industrial Court, and the prescribed powers of the Registration, Recognition and Certification Board are all a result of incipient ignorance and political expediency. Secondly, the thesis ascertains whether the immutable laws created by the Industrial Court’s jurisprudence are contrary to the rule of law and disregards the principle of legality. The legal illegitimacy is demonstrated firstly through the unconstitutionality of the Industrial Stabilisation Act 1965, as amended, then its successor the Industrial Relations Act 1972, as amended, and its emanating institutions. This thesis is an expository of egregious legislation and entrenched legal illegitimacy of the post-independence labour justice system of Trinidad and Tobago.
