CCJ Judges Now On All Panels | Jamaica News
Description
The Caribbean Court of Justice just overhauled its judicial panel rules—effective immediately—requiring all judges to sit on every case unless excused for a valid reason, aiming for greater transparency and fairness. This move follows explosive allegations from August that Chief Justice Winston Anderson ran the court in an “authoritarian” manner, including imposing dress codes and manipulating panel assignments. Anderson denied the claims, calling them false and insisting his role was administrative, not partisan. In response to the fallout, the Regional Judicial Commission launched an independent review, but Anderson ultimately agreed to the new policy to restore public trust and ensure impartiality.
