Prime Minister Andrew Holness has hailed Justice Paul Harrison as "one of Jamaica’s outstanding judges."
Harrison passed away on Sunday. He was 85.
Holness remembered Harrison as one who "gave distinguished service to Jamaica, in a critical arm of the state, the judiciary, and the legal profession for more than 45 years."
Harrison was President of the Court of Appeal from 2005-2007.
"Justice Harrison was always meticulous about his job. He exuded a sense of pride and passion for the profession, which will not be forgotten.
