OPINION OF THE COURT
JOSEPH S. LORD, III, District Judge
These are interlocutory appeals from orders of the District Court of the Virgin Islands of the United States denying the motions of the Government of the Virgin Islands (“Government”) to dismiss the claims asserted against it in three actions under the 1971 Virgin Islands Tort Claims Act, 33 V.I.C. §§ 3408-3414. The issues before us involve the application of the Tort Claims Act to these actions where the incidents giving rise to claims against the Government arose before November 15, 1971, the effective date of the Act.
