Barbados’ legal fraternity has lost a stalwart, a courageous advocate, and a lawyer whose courtroom craft was “par excellence”.Judges, prosecutors, and several other legal minds paid that tribute to late prominent attorney-at-Ezra Alleyne as they expressed sadness at his passing.Alleyne died on Sunday at the age of 78.Madam Justice Jaqueline Cornelius called him a “courageous advocate” and a “delightful colleague”, adding that “most of us as younger attorneys” admired him at the Bar.“Certainly in terms of appearing before us in court, he has always been extremely courteous and well prepared. The Bar really has lost a stalwart and one with a strong institutional memory of how the courts were run and should be run,” the High Court judge told Barbados TODAY.
