Hodge finds the superior court improperly reversed a lower court's decision in the tenant and landlord's dispute over a commercial lease ordering restitution to the landlord and the release to her of rent money held in escrow. The superior court incorrectly dismissed the landlord's lawsuit on subject-matter jurisdiction grounds, in part because the relevant Virgin Island statutes, including the one relating to "forcible entry and detainer" actions to recover possession of a premises, do not prohibit inquiries into the validity or existence of lease agreements. The portion of the tenant's appeal relating to the restitution of the premises is now moot because he vacated the premises in 2021, but the portion of the superior court's order awarding escrowed rent money to the landlord is reversed and vacated. Reversed in part.
