Justice Rita Olivetti to leave VI’s jurisdiction
The revered Eastern Supreme Court Judge will be the second to leave the Virgin Islands in less than a year. However, she will still be working in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court's jurisdiction at her post in St. Vincent.
Justice Indra Hariprashad-Charles, who now sits on the Bahamas Supreme Court, left the jurisdiction and the VI last December.
According to this news agency’s source, Justice Olivetti will be missed. “She was one of the most likeable person that I have met and a very fair Judge.”
The Grenadian national has been sitting in this jurisdiction since 2001.
Justice Olivetti graduated from the University of Kingston Upon Thames, England, B.A. [Honours] Law in 1979; spent two years, 1979 to 1981, at the Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad & Tobago where she obtained a Legal Education Certificate and was called to the Bar in Grenada in 1981.
Prior to being an ECSC judge, the veteran legal professional worked with the Antigua and Barbuda’s Government for two years and in private practice for 17 years.
