Chief Justice, Dennis Byron, speaking at the swearing in ceremony at the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court headquarters, saw Justice Barrow’s experience, knowledge and commitment as a rebirth for the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, especially as the Court seeks to replace nearly a third of its judiciary mainly due to retirement.
