Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Practice And Procedure

The first book of its kind in the region, Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Practice and Procedure has filled a lacuna in the jurisprudence of the Commonwealth Caribbean. Written by an experienced local practitioner, this book provides a detailed analysis of the statute and common law in relation to criminal procedure in the region, something that had never been attempted before. At least 11 jurisdictions are considered, including The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. Particular attention is paid to those aspects of the law that diverge from what may be considered the norm in the rest of the region or England. Recent developments in the field, which include Privy Council cases as well as new legislation, are also reviewed. The first edition of this text was named the recommended text for all three law schools of the Commonwealth Caribbean. The book also proved a valuable reference source for practitioners, judicial officers and the police and has been cited as a source of authority regionally. This new edition has long been awaited.Seetahal, Dana is the author of 'Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Practice And Procedure ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781859419748 and ISBN 1859419747.
