Saint Lucia – The appellant was a Justice of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. It is agreed between the parties (as set out in the agreed statement of facts and issues (‘the SFI’)) that the appeal concerns the interpretation of the relevant pension legislation of Saint Lucia, in order to determine whether or not the appellant was entitled to a pension upon his retirement after serving for three years and five months as a Justice of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (‘the ECSC’). The appellant’s case is that he did not need to have actually served for ten years, or any other qualifying period, in order to qualify for a reduced pension. The respondent’s case, which succeeded in the High Court and the Court of Appeal, is that the appellant needed to have served ten years in order to qualify for a pension.
