Justice of Appeal Prem Persaud will be remembered as a jurist who served his country and acquitted himself with distinction—entitling him a place in the annals of legal history—not only in Guyana but the Common-wealth Caribbean at large.
These were among the sentiments expressed yesterday morning at a special Full Court sitting of the Supreme Court of Judica-ture to honour the life and legacy of the judge whose career spanned some six decades.
The 91-year-old retired judge, who was the recipient of the Order of Service and Cacique Crown of Honour, the latter being the second highest national award in Guyana, died on November 26th last.
