MEMORANDUM OPINION

This case exemplifies the difficulties caused by hastily drafted legislation. Our task is to determine the meaning of "current salary" in the Judges Pension Fund Act. For the following reasons we hold that "current salary" means the same salary as that of active judges of the Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands as it may escalate from time to time.
