How Judge Young decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Young enforced statutory allocation of authority when an agency official created a disciplinary body without the required commission action.
“Since the Police Rules and Regulations were promulgated by the Commission under 23 V.I.C. § 9(b), only the Commission — and not the Commissioner —is authorized to establish a board to implement the rules and to investigate their alleged violations.”
Young denied immediate rescission of a stock-repurchase agreement while preserving a later equitable remedy if deferred payment continued indefinitely.
“but without prejudice to the plaintiff’s right to refile his suit at an appropriate time.”
Procedural preferences
Young intervened when written discovery was being used to obtain trial evidence rather than identify admissible leads.
“Plaintiff has resorted to written interrogatories not for the purpose of obtaining information which might lead to the discovery of admissible evidence but rather in a naked attempt to procure evidence directly.”
Young reserved summary judgment where causation and defenses required a jury to resolve disputed facts.
“After carefully reviewing the memoranda of the parties and their supporting affidavits and documents, I conclude that there are material issues of fact which will be necessary for the jury to decide.”
