Some information on Judge Alone Trials:
Judge Alone Trials in the High Court were introduced in Trinidad and Tobago in February, 2019. Several such trials were conducted before the pandemic began. During the pandemic, when in-person hearings had to be suspended, judge alone trials provided the only means by which criminal trials in the High Court could be conducted. More than 49 trials have been completed.
