Leon Oswald Rockliffe

Attorney Leon Oswald Rockliffe has died. He was 90 years old.

In a brief interview with this newspaper yesterday, President of the Guyana Bar Association (GBA) Teni Housty said that Rockliffe practised law for just about half a century, following his return from London where he studied.

The GBA president described Rockliffe as the “guru of the legal profession” on the land transport system in Guyana, and as the person who had been able to trace its evolution back to the 1800s.
