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.
This is the first textbook to deal with criminal practice and procedure as it relates to the Caribbean. The text clarifies the state law in each jurisdiction, making it clear when laws are the same or similar, and statutory law in the Caribbean is compared to English Law throughout. Statute law and common law are examined in the relevant jurisdictions including Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Grenada among others. Although the laws of each jurisdiction have many things in common, Seetahal makes it clear when differences in laws between the jurisdictions apply. The impact of statutory changes are also analyzed alongside recent developments.
Revised throughout, this new edition addresses the recent changes in law in St Lucia and the Bahamas bringing this popular text right up to date. Although it has been written for law students, as the only book which deals specifically with criminal practice and procedure in the Caribbean, it is also a useful reference tool for criminal justice professionals.
