As a Member of the Industrial Court, Her Honour has served diligently and consistently has contributed tremendously to the development of the industrial relations jurisprudence in Trinidad and Tobago, including by Her Honour’s many written judgments.

Her Honour Mrs. Seale has been a lay leader for the past ten years at the Unity Centre of Faith. She acts as a Mentor for students at her alma mater St. Francois Girls’ College and in 2018 was recognised by the school as a “Phenomenal Woman” .

The Office of The President also wishes to thank the former Industrial Court President, Mrs. Deborah Thomas-Felix, for her dedicated service to the Industrial Court and, by extension, to the people of Trinidad and Tobago, and for having served in that position for more than 11 consecutive years. Mrs. Thomas-Felix’s leadership over this period was instrumental in helping to build capacity at the Industrial Court, including building a pool of talented members from which it has been possible to select a new President.
