The new revised Laws of Guyana were on Friday officially presented to the Chancellor of the Judiciary, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the legal fraternity.

At the presentation ceremony at the Sleepin International Hotel, former Justice of Appeal Claudette Singh, the Coordinator of the Modernisation of the Justice Administration System project, said the Laws of Guyana have been updated to December 31, 2010 and are now available in print. She added that the delay in the updating exercise was as a result of the gross underestimation of the subsidiary legislation.
