According to The Gleaner, a Jamaica media site, Wolfe fell ill while attending the function and had to undergo a battery of tests, although, “nothing seems to be amiss,” a close family of the former Jamaican Chief Justice said.
“Everything seems to be fine at this stage,” the family member told the media station. They also revealed that Wolfe is in stable condition but medical workers continue to keep a close eye on the dignitary.
The former Jamaican Chief Justice is said to be in his mid 70s. He served as Chief Justice from 1996 to 2007. He also served briefly as acting Governor General for his country.
In mid- last year, Wolfe, Mr. K.D. Knight S.C, Ms. Dana Seetahal S.C along with Guyana’s former Court of Appeal Judge, Claudette Singh, CCH and former Chancellor of the Judiciary and the current Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority, Cecil Kennard were sworn in to serve as Commissioners overseeing the affairs of the Commission of Inquiry into the Linden shooting which saw three persons reportedly killed by state agents and several others injured. Wolfe and the Commissioners returned last month to award compensation to those who sustained losses during the mining town’s unrest.
They are scheduled to return on February 28 to give a report of recommendations based on evidence that came out during the Commission of Inquiry.
