-Held liable for illegal transfer of over US$1 million
Days after the US State Department released its 2020 Human Rights Report on Liberia implicating judges and magistrates of the Judiciary Branch of the Government of bribery, the Chief Judge of the Commercial Court has been found guilty of withdrawing over US$1 million illegally. The Judicial Inquiry Commission that investigated Judge Eva Mappy Morgan and found her liable has therefore recommended a year suspension for her without pay and benefits.
The Supreme Court’s disciplinary commission, the JIC, after eight months of Investigation on Wednesday, April 7 said, “Eva Mappy Morgan, respondent, recklessly abused her discretion when she illegally ordered the President of the Liberia Bank for Development and Investment (LBDI) to unfreeze the accounts of Ducor Petroleum Inc.

The United States Department of State (DOS) recently published its 2020 country report on Human Rights Practices in Liberia and included the following:
“In August the Global News Network reported that Eva Mappy Morgan, chief judge of the Commercial Court and president of the National Trial Judges of Liberia, was the subject of an investigation for alleged malpractice.
Judge Morgan was linked to a 2013 communication in which it was alleged the Commercial Court authorized the withdrawal, without the consent of one of the litigating parties, of an amount of $3.4 million at the Liberian Bank for Development and Investment, which was being held in escrow pending final determination of a commercial dispute between Ducor Petroleum Inc. and the Monrovia Oil Trading Company. The court unilaterally ordered the withdrawal of more than three million dollars from the bank. The Judicial Inquiry Commission investigation of the case continued at year’s end.”
