Court voids appointment of Saint Lucian lead judge in vaccine case

High Court judge Raulston L. A. Glasgow has quashed the appointment of Eddy Ventose, a Saint Lucian academic and jurist, as a Justice of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) with effect from January 8, 2024. This means the ECSC decided that the lead judge who reversed the original decision in the COVID-19 vaccine mandate case in St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) was not a justice of appeal at the time of the February 2025 ruling.
