Senior Assistant Attorney General Lackston Robinson went back to work this week at the Attorney General's Department after being away for five years.

He was sent on leave in 2003 after he filed a lawsuit against the former members of the Public Service Commission (PSC).

Robinson, who was acting as deputy solicitor general for more than a year, had filed the suit after he was reverted to his substantive post without being assessed.

The PSC later recommended Robinson be retired.

Experience

"We are happy that Mr Robinson is back because he is a person with considerable experience in litigation and this can only inure to the benefit of the department," Solicitor General, Douglas Leys, said on Tuesday.

In July last year Supreme Court Judge Roy Jones strongly criticised the former PSC members for sending Robinson on leave and for recommending that he be retired.

The judge ordered Robinson reinstated.

Prime Minster Bruce Golding fired the former PSC members last December for misbehaviour after the body's failure to obey the Supreme Court ruling.

Four of the five PSC members have filed suit against the Prime Minister over their dismissals. The suit is pending in the Supreme Court.
