		Members of the Court decided to screen the thousands of cases before a decision was made as to which case had the merit to investigate and prove the inmate's innocence.

		Given the charged political context in which the Caribbean Court of Justice is being created, an issue of seminal public concern thrusting itself to the forefront of the regional agenda is the approach to be adopted by the Court towards the doctrine of stare decisis in its appellate jurisdiction.
