The In­dus­tri­al Court of Trinidad and To­ba­go is mourn­ing the death of long-serv­ing judge Her Ho­n­our Ms Bindi­mat­tie Ma­habir.

In a state­ment, the court said Ma­habir ded­i­cat­ed more than 26 years of ser­vice af­ter be­ing ap­point­ed to the Gen­er­al Ser­vices Di­vi­sion in Oc­to­ber 2000.

Dur­ing her tenure, she presided over nu­mer­ous mat­ters in open court and suc­cess­ful­ly re­solved many dis­putes through con­cil­i­a­tion. Be­fore join­ing the bench, Ma­habir served as a se­nior con­cil­ia­tor in the Min­istry of Labour, where she played a key role in me­di­at­ing dis­putes.

The court said she would be re­mem­bered by col­leagues and staff for her vi­brant spir­it and en­gag­ing per­son­al­i­ty.

The Pres­i­dent, mem­bers of the bench and staff ex­tend­ed con­do­lences to her fam­i­ly, friends and loved ones.
