Caribbean Public Law

This book depicts the various ways in which Caribbean courts seek to protect the citizen against the abuse of State power through the powerful tool of judicial review. Illustrations are drawn from both constitutional law and administrative law. Between these two subject areas, there is illustration of how the courts utilize their power of judicial review not only to control State legislative authority but also the exercise of discretion by public authorities. The basic approach of the book is to reflect the established legal principles through Caribbean cases, with critique and commentary made where appropriate. Some suggestions for reform are also discussed.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

This book highlights the tremendous shift in the traditional arrangements for the delivery of civil justice in the Commonwealth Caribbean, from litigation to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes. Over the last quarter of a century, much learning has taken place on the topic of ADR and the literature on the subject is now voluminous.

This book puts forward the thesis that the peculiar experiences of the developing world ought to help reshape our traditional notions of ADR. Furthermore, the impact of globalization on the developing world has brought with it special and peculiar challenges to our notions of civil and criminal justice which are not replicated elsewhere. This book will appeal to a wide readership.

The legal profession, students of law and politics, social scientists, mediators, the police, state officers and the public at large will find its contents of interest.

This book begins by tracing the life story of Telford Georges from the childhood years in Dominica, through the years of practice in Trinidad, followed by the Tanzania and Zimbabwe years, and culminating in The Bahamas period. Transcribed conversations with Telford are included, in which he gives the reader many fascinating insights into the judicial thought processes, and expresses his views on a number of controversial issues.

Some of Telford George’s most significant judgments dealing with a variety of legal issues in both public and private law areas, which stand as a major contribution to Caribbean jurisprudence, are included. The book also presents a selection of George’s addresses and lectures on various topics of interest not only to lawyers but to the wider public.
