Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

For purposes of consistency, this Order makes alterations to the West Indies Associated States Supreme Court Order 1967 so far as it has effect as part of the law of Anguilla, of Montserrat and of the Virgin Islands. These are similar to those already made to the Order as it has effect as part of the law of the five States that have retained the Supreme Court that Order established, originally as a common court for the West Indies Associated States. On the independence of each State, the Court under its law is styled the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court and the Order is cited as the Supreme Court Order.
