The leader of the opposition in St. Vincent and the Grenadine, Arnhim Eustace has announced the withdrawal of his party's support for the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
Most Caribbean countries have pledged to replace the London based Privy Council with the CCJ as their highest court.
Mr. Eustace said he wanted to see more reform to remove what he says is political interference in the administration of justice in the region. "I think I want to see some further movement in relation to the issue of political involvement and what role the political directive can play," said Mr. Eustace.
