Customs officer Terrisa Dhoray contended that certain sections of the act were unconstitutional, as they sought to interfere with the terms and conditions of employment of public servants currently assigned to the IRD and CED.

Section 18 requires employees at the IRD and CED to decide whether they would be voluntarily resigning from the public service, accepting a transfer to another public service department, or agreeing to be transferred to the TTRA. Dhoray's contention was that should the TTRA be implemented, then it would result in political interference and control over employees who are currently protected by the Constitution so that they can carry out their duties in a professional and independent manner.
