Justice Marcia Ayers-Caesar is once again a High Court judge, returning to the bench in May after a long legal battle that lasted nearly eight years.

In March, the Privy Council ruled that her 2017 resignation was unlawfully forced by the Judicial and Legal Service Commission (JLSC), led by Chief Justice Ivor Archie.

The apex court held that her removal was unfair and violated constitutional procedures for the removal of a judge. The ruling said the commission put pressure on Ayers-Caesar by threatening disciplinary action, instead of following the proper constitutional process under Section 137.
