The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) held a landmark ceremony on October 6, 2025, at its headquarters in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, to formally inaugurate Honourable Mr Justice Winston Anderson as its fourth President. The event brought together judiciary leaders from Barbados, Belize, Guyana, the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, and Trinidad and Tobago, alongside distinguished guests and regional judicial officials. Justice Anderson, who was officially sworn in on July 6, 2025, during the 49th Regular Meeting of CARICOM Heads of Government in Montego Bay, Jamaica, has a distinguished career spanning academia and legal practice. Prior to his CCJ appointment in 2010, he served as a professor and Deputy Dean at The University of the West Indies (UWI) Faculty of Law, where he also held roles as Head of Teaching and General Counsel to CARICOM. He was instrumental in founding the CCJ Academy for Law in 2010. During the ceremony, President Anderson emphasized the CCJ’s transformative role in enhancing access to final appellate justice across the Caribbean. He highlighted a significant increase in appeals from Barbados to the CCJ, which surged from 19 to 105 cases over a 20-year period—a 450% rise. However, he noted that the Court’s full potential remains untapped due to incomplete compliance with the CCJ Agreement by member states, which limits access to justice and the development of a unified Caribbean jurisprudence. The event’s theme of expanding justice accessibility was echoed by Chief Justice Ivor Archie of Trinidad and Tobago, who pledged collaboration with President Anderson to advance regional judicial integration. Senator John Jeremie, Trinidad and Tobago’s Attorney General, praised Anderson’s integrity and commitment to the rule of law. Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine, Principal of UWI St. Augustine, lauded Anderson’s appointment as a victory for both the CCJ and the university. Former CCJ President Sir Dennis Byron expressed confidence in Anderson’s leadership, citing his contributions to landmark cases and the Needham’s Point Declaration. CCJ Judge Maureen Rajnauth-Lee commended Anderson’s collaborative approach, while CARICOM General Counsel Lisa Shoman underscored the CCJ’s critical role in fostering regional integration and upholding the rule of law. The ceremony marked a pivotal moment in the CCJ’s mission to shape a Caribbean jurisprudence that reflects the region’s unique needs and aspirations.
