A long-running legal tussle over leadership of Suriname’s Telecommunications Authority (TAS) has reached a partial milestone on October 27, following a summary judgment issued by subdistrict judge Robert Praag, though a core, high-stakes question remains deferred to a full substantive civil trial. While the ruling sided with TAS’s Supervisory Board (Raad van Commissarissen, RvC) to issue an immediate interim injunction barring former presidential appointee Wendy Jap-A-Joe from acting in the director role, the court declined to issue a final verdict on the legality of the 2021 employment contract she signed with the telecom regulator, placing the entire agreement on hold pending a full bench review.
