Book Description
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) is the court of final appeal for jurisdictions including the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, and for those Commonwealth countries that have retained the appeal to Her Majesty in Council. This volume aims to explain the JCPC's unique procedures, practices, and, where relevant, jurisprudence in a manner which is readily accessible, even to those unfamiliar with it. It will provide valuable guidance to practitioners considering whether to seek recourse to the JCPC and, if an appeal is pursued, throughout the appeal process. This comprehensive guide to the JCPC is the first work of its kind since 1937. It includes chapters on jurisdiction, conditions of appeal, precedent, and the JCPC's role in interpreting constitutions as part of a workload which still ranges from death row criminal cases to heavy commercial disputes. Importantly, the authors provide detailed commentary on the complex Rules and Practice Directions that underwent a significant overhaul in 2009, for which no dedicated volume currently exists. Emphasis is placed on topics of greatest practical importance to litigants, including timings, the form and content of written cases, issues of costs, and the role of the Registrar. This one-stop reference is essential for any practitioner in the countries for which the JCPC remains the final court of appeal, as well as for UK solicitors acting as local counsel and members of the UK Bar instructed in JCPC appeals. It also provides students and academics with chapters on the history, jurisprudence, and the sources of law considered by the JCPC, as well as on its interaction with other court systems. The release of this work is particularly timely given that in the judgment Willers v Gubayi [2016] UKSC 44 the UK Supreme Court explained for the first time the circumstances in which the JCPC may bind the Courts of England and Wales. With authoritative authorship and unique content, this is a must-have resource for all those pursuing a case before, or with an interest in, the JCPC.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Practice of the Privy Council in Judicial Matters: In Appeals From Courts of Civil, Criminal, and Admiralty Jurisdiction and in Appeals From Ecclesiastical and Prize Courts With the Statutes, Rules and Forms of Procedure (Founded Upon "Safford and Wheeler's Practice of the Privy Council in Judicial Matter The practice of the Privy Council in judicial matters has been enormously simplified since the publication of Messrs. Safford and Wheeler's comprehensive work on that subject in 1901. In the first place, as the result, perhaps, of suggestions made by the learned authors of that book, the rules of appeal from the courts in most of the colonies, possessions and foreign jurisdictions of the Crown have been standardised, and now conform to a single model; and secondly, the rules of the Judicial Committee itself have been consolidated. Moreover, the jurisdiction of the Privy Council in relation to the extension of Letters Patent for inventions has been transferred to the Chancery Courts; and the number of courts from which appeals can be brought directly has been reduced by the federation of the South African colonies in the Union of South Africa, and the restriction of the right of appeal to cases which have already gone up to the appellate division of the Supreme Court of the Union. In view of these reforms and changes it has been found possible to reduce by more than half "the big evil of a big book," and to replace the elephantinus liber of Messrs. Safford and Wheeler by a more concise treatise without, it is hoped, a loss of comprehensiveness. The plan of the earlier work has been followed to a certain extent; but at the same time very large modifications have been made, and the whole book had to be rewritten.

Supreme Court of India
Author: George H. GadboisPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199093180
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
A leading expert on Indian judiciary, George Gadbois offers a compelling biography of the Supreme Court of India, a powerful institution. Written and researched when he was a graduate student in the 1960s, this book provides the first comprehensive account of the Court’s foundation and early years. Gadbois opens with Hari Singh Gour’s proposal in 1921 to establish an indigenous ultimate court of appeal. After analyzing events preceding the Federal Court’s creation under the Government of India Act, 1935, Gadbois explores the Court’s largely overlooked role and record. He goes on to discuss the Constituent Assembly’s debates about Indian judiciary and the Supreme Court’s powers and jurisdiction under the Constitution. He pays particular attention to the history and practice of judicial appointments in India. In the book’s later chapters, Gadbois assesses the functioning of the Supreme Court during its first decade and a half. He critically analyzes its first decisions on free speech, equality and reservations, preventive detention, and the right to property. The book is an institutional tour de force beginning with the Federal Court’s establishment in December 1937, through the Supreme Court’s inauguration in January 1950, and until the death of Jawaharlal Nehru in May 1964.
