The judicial review court has reportedly ruled that Former Education Minister Ruel Reid along with former Caribbean Maritime University President Fritz Pinnock, and their three co-accused, have a fraud case to answer.

Reid and Pinnock had carried the matter to the judicial court seeking to overturn the ruling of Parish Judge Chester Crooks, that their application has been refused and so they will have to mount a defence.

Initially, according to reports a hearing was to take place on September 5, 2023, whether they have a case to answer following the judicial review of their criminal charges.

Reid, Pinnock, Reid’s wife Sharen, their daughter Sharelle, and Jamaica Labour Party Councillor for the Brown’s Town Division Kim Brown Lawrence, are implicated in a multimillion-dollar fraud case relating to the Caribbean Maritime University.

The judicial review was held before three judges on May 7 and 8.

Both Reid and Pinnock appeared before the court on June 10 and now it has been reported that they are to answer to fraud charges in court.
