Description
In 2015, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) celebrated ten years since its inauguration on 16 April 2005 and since its first judgment on 26 October 2005. Then President, Sir Dennis Byron, asked a distinguished group of jurists to provide their perspectives on the CCJ’s judgments in that period. Among the contributors were: the late Sir Shridath Ramphal, Dr Lloyd Barnett, Dr Patrick Antoine, Prof. David Berry, Mr Sheldon McDonald, and Sir Manuel Sosa.
This book, The Caribbean Court of Justice: The First Ten Years, was the result of that joint effort.
Also included in this book are summaries of the cases decided in both the regional Original Jurisdiction and the domestic Appellate Jurisdictions, for those years. Judgments in a select number of seminal cases are reproduced in full.
This publication is designed to inform persons of the nature and quality of the work of the Court and highlight its impact on Caribbean peoples.
