A group of Caribbean litigators and a partner at the Toronto-based law firm WeireFoulds have successfully challenged anti-LGTBQ laws in Antigua and Barbuda, where they have now been declared unconstitutional.

Early this month, Justice Marissa Robertson of the High Court of Justice issued a decision that makes Antigua and Barbuda the first of nine Eastern Caribbean nations to declare unconstitutional laws that criminalize consensual, private, same-sex intimacy between adults.
