With the recent retirement of Justice C. Dennis Morrison OJ, CD, QC, as president of the Court of Appeal, another distinguished judge, Justice Patrick Brooks, whose judgments are reliably hailed as “impressive” and “full and careful”, has been appointed to succeed him. I wish to acknowledge the singular contribution made by Justice Morrison as one of the Caribbean’s most respected and eminent jurists. He was one of the region’s best civil litigators before joining the Bench. He is one of the longest-serving and most beloved legal educators, and many of us owe some of who we are today, professionally, to his encouragement, guidance, compassion, and wonderful example.
