CASTRIES, St. Lucia, Oct 7, CMC – The Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) opened its new law term in St. Lucia on Wednesday with its President, Justice Winston Anderson noting that over the past two decades the Court has built a strong foundation of institutional excellence guided by principles and values which underpin, support, and drive its work.
“Judicial independence and impartiality, enhanced accessibility, technological innovation, and adaptability, and a strong service ethos have remained central to the Court’s operations,” Justice Anderson said, adding that “adherence to these principles has enabled the Court to deliver justice at the highest level while developing a distinct and robust body of indigenous jurisprudence that stands as a source of pride for the region”.
Justice Anderson, the fourth president of the CCJ, since it was established in 2001 and inaugurated four years later to replace the London-based Privy Council as the region’s highest and final court, said that the two decades had been spent building the Court.
