“He spent many years on both the civil and criminal bench in the High Court, and he brought versatility to the judge role. He dutifully moved from court to court as he was needed. With his retirement, an era will end. He had been appointed a judge before the turn of the last century, first, temporarily, in 1997, and then permanently in 1998. He has therefore served the Judiciary for just under 30 years in all.”
