Lauding Guyana for its accession to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) as its final court, President of the CCJ, Justice Adrian Saunders, said that during the years the country had a single appellate tier, its justice system “did not flourish as well as it could otherwise have.”
Justice Saunders credited in part, advancements made by the local justice system to Guyana’s accession—from the inception of the regional court—to both its original and appellate jurisdictions.
The remarks were made by the CCJ President who delivered the keynote address over the weekend at the Marriott Hotel, at the annual dinner hosted by the Guyana Bar Association which celebrated the end of its inaugural law-week observances under the theme, “Advancing the Rule of Law in the New Normal.”
