Quick Glance: CoE Chairman Criticizes Paria and LMCS for Treatment of Divers' Families
  • PARIA Commission of Enquiry (CoE) chairman Jerome Lynch, KC, criticized Paria Fuel Trading Co Ltd and Land and Marine Construction Services Ltd (LMCS) for their handling of the families of four divers who died on Paria's premises in Pointe-a-Pierre last year.

  • Lynch emphasized that the weight of the evidence presented to the commission takes priority over its admissibility.

  • Lynch stated, 'It is our view that it is a matter of common decency to keep the families informed and to provide them with proper facilities.'
