Bourne will take up his duties in early December and, until then, Scipio has agreed to continue in the post. Scipio plans to continue living in Anguilla, and to return to private legal practice.

According to the government of Anguilla, Bourne was selected following a process of public advertisement, which attracted a number of well qualified candidates, both from Anguilla and from overseas. It was the unanimous opinion of the selection panel that Bourne was the best suited to this important position.

Bourne, who was born in Barbados, has spent most of his life in Bermuda, where he is currently serving as solicitor general.
