Forty years of successful service is a significant milestone for any organization.  The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court can undoubtedly boast that over its lifetime, it has maintained a proud record of service to the Member States and Territories of the Eastern Caribbean, from Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands in the north to Grenada in the south.

The life and history of the Court has coincided with the transition of the Eastern Caribbean States from colonies to States in Association with Britain (The Associated States) to independence for the majority of the former colonies in the sub region, and to enhanced levels of responsibility for internal affairs for the remaining Overseas Territories.
