#Jamaica, November 15, 2022 – Two Jamaicans have been appointed as acting high court judges of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. They will both serve in the British Virgin Islands starting with Small Davis from November 21 through to December 23.
The newly appointed acting high court judges are Retired Supreme Court judge, Ingrid Mangatal and King’s Counsel, Tan’ania Small Davis.
Mantagal, who will act for a year beginning January 1, 2023, shared her intentions to apply the skills she gained during her 35 years of service in both the public and private sectors. She was appointed as Supreme Court Judge during the period 2003 to 2013 and after being granted early discretionary retirement from the Jamaican judiciary, she served as a judge from 2015 to 2019 in the Cayman Islands Grand Court.
Small Davis, who previously served in the British Virgin Islands as president of the Bar Association also said she plans to do her best.
