Legal action to start against Corporation over increased rates at San Juan market

San Juan vendors have moved ahead with their legal challenge over rent increases at the facility instituted by the San/Laventille Regional Corporation.

High Court Judge Avason Guinlan-Williams granted leave for one of the vendors to pursue a judicial review against the corporation, this morning.

The other vendors are currently in the process of filing similar claims, which may be joined at a later stage.

IzzSo spoke with several vendors both in San Juan and Port-of-Spain to compare the rates being paid.

Based on the dialogue, PoS vendors pay more for road side vending than what San Juan vendors pay for an enclosed area.
