Denys Barrow joins the Supreme Court Bench

It's one appointment to the high court that earned no rebuke from the opposition, as Senior Counsel Denys Barrow was sworn in as a temporary judge of the Supreme Court this morning.

Barrow has been tasked to dispose of the hefty backlog of appeals coming up from the Magistrates' Courts. Still, a release today stressed that he will be assigned the normal duties of a Supreme Court judge.

He will hold the post for three months.
