  • TRIBUTE FOR JUSTICE JEFFERSON “JEFF” CUMBERBATCH
    On the evening of January 17, 2024, I received the very sad news that Justice Jefferson “Jeff” Cumberbatch “passed away”. Although I knew that he had some recent health issues, I did not think that they would have brought his transition to his new life.
    Jeff and I go back to our student days in the mid 1970s at the UWI Cave Hill campus. We joined the teaching staff at Cave Hill around the same time and developed a very cordial relationship over the years. When I became President of WIGUT in the late 1980s, Jeff was my “go-to-person” on legal issues facing the union. He was very knowledgeable in labour law and has written an important article on legal issues facing university staff: “Managing the Academy: Aspects of the Law Relating to University Administration” (2000). Jeff was always willing to offer his advice in short order to his colleagues in WIGUT. As an economist with an interest in human resource matters, we often exchanged ideas on various labour matters. He was also a keen sportsman with an interest in cricket and lawn tennis.
    When Jeff became Chairman of the Fair Trading Commission (FTC), I was his Deputy Chairman and our relationship deepened as we discussed a range of issues facing the FTC. He was very fair and objective in his analysis of and decision-making on the affairs of the FTC. His calm demeanour ensured that the proceedings of the Commission went very smoothly and without contention.
    Jeff was well-known and respected for his public engagement on legal matters—both in the established media and the social media. I tried to get him, on several occasions, to publish his regular columns in a book form so that they can be available to a wider audience. Unfortunately, that suggestion was not taken up due to his very demanding schedule.
    Jeff’s vast knowledge of various legal areas, erudite and understandable writing style, pleasant and cordial personality, and his ability to “cut to the chase” will surely be sorely missed by the legal fraternity and the general public. He certainly had a lot more to offer. We trust that he will be an asset in his new life. Farewell my colleague and friend.
    Deepest condolences to his wife, Marcia, his children and other family members.

  • Offering deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Justice Cumberbatch. Some of my fondest memories in the Law Faculty surround his kind smile, commitment to the excellence of his students and his patience in ensuring we succeeded, even when we felt completely lost. I will always remember his kindness and his willingness to assist all his students. When I asked for a reference to pursue my Masters, he obliged without question. To one of the strongest, most determined minds and souls I’ve ever met, thank you and rest in peace. We will always remember you.

  • My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Cumberbatch. He was my favourite lecturer across all my academic pursuits and a true mentor. I’ve been away from home for some time but he rarely forgot to keep in touch, even if it was simply the little pleasantries – like birthday messages and responding to my little Facebook questions. The reality of his passing has still not sunk in as yet. We are all poorer for his loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of us who knew him.

  • Mr. Cumberbatch, you are now in the arms of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Rest sweetly in eternal peace and may perpetual light shine upon you. Thank you for being warm, welcoming and so so kind.
    I am praying diligently for your loved ones.
