Following an appeal last month for member states to meet their financial obligations to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, the heads of government are not considering an automatic payment system.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Following an OECS meeting in St. Kitts over the weekend, the Authority deliberated extensively on the sustainable financing of the OECS Commission and the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Heads also considered a presentation by the Governor of the ECCB on\u00a0the feasibility of a trust fund for the Court.<\/p>\n
