Chief Justice Bryan Sykes has expressed appreciation to court staff who showed up to work, even as they face their own challenges at home, following the passage of Hurricane Melissa.
Justice Sykes has been visiting court houses across the island that were left in shambles in the wake of the category 5 storm.
While in St. Elizabeth he noted that at some court houses there wasn’t even much to be salvaged.
He was, however, heartened by the hope and leadership displayed by parish judges and operation managers in getting the team to start the restoration process.
He noted that despite the distress and concern, court staff willingly pitched in.
Justice Sykes said discussions will be held with stakeholders to determine the next steps.
