Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court Personal Injury Cases Digest 2000-2017 EASTERN CARIBBEAN SUPREME COURT PERSONAL INJURY CASES DIGEST 2000-2017 Compiled by IMPACT JUSTICE PROJECT Caribbean Law Institute Centre The University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus St. Michael Barbados November 2018 © Government of Canada PREFACE This volume contains digests of most of the personal injury decisions of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court for the period 2000 to 2017. It is one of several publications produced by IMPACT Justice (Improved Access to Justice in the CARICOM Region), a civil society justice sector project funded by the Government of Canada under an agreement with the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies. The Project focuses on improving access to justice in the CARICOM region for women, men, boys and girls by working with governments and civil society organisations to draft model laws; training legislative drafters to enhance the ability of governments to formulate their policies; promoting continuing legal education for attorneys-at-law, conducting training and encouraging the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution to build relationships and lead to peaceful solutions to issues at all levels in society and increasing knowledge of the law through a public legal education programme. Its cross cutting themes are gender equality, the environment, good governance and human rights. The digests in this volume are organized under the parts of the body which were injured and for which compensation was sought through the courts. They are intended to be a quick reference tool for use by the judiciary and other members of the legal profession in the States and Overseas Territories served by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. The full text of many of the cases may be found on the ECSC Judgments Website (www.eccourts.org) and on Justis One (www.justis.com) the new home of the CariLaw database, which was originally conceptualized and marketed by the Faculty of Law Library, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados. IMPACT Justice thanks the research assistants who assisted in assembling the cases, preparing the digests and checking case citations. It takes responsibility for any errors found.

Introduction: 1. The Caribbean and Central American Region as well as the Pacific region face a range of similar challenges in acceding to and implementing the United Nations Convention against Corruption. To address these challenges, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy (ICCLR) conducted a cross-regional Workshop to Promote the Ratification and Reporting on Implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption in Toronto from 29 September to 1 October 2009. 2. The Workshop aimed at uniting practitioners from both regions to share good anti- corruption policies and practices with an emphasis on asset recovery, in order to assess the status of implementation of the Convention and to promote its ratification/accession. Furthermore, it aimed at identifying implementation gaps, technical assistance needs to fill such gaps and elements of action plans to advance accession to and implementation of UNCAC. II. Opening of the meeting 3. Mr. Paul Saint-Denis, Senior Counsel at the Department of Justice, Canada, opened the meeting on behalf of the Government of Canada. He pointed out that the Canadian Government was pleased to support the meeting and looked forward to its outcomes. Mr. Yvon Dandurand, Senior Associate at ICCLR, stated that the Centre was delighted to conduct the Workshop in cooperation with UNODC, one of the Institutes of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme.

  • 2.4 Nettleship V Weston
    Law’s Fictions Reading Law as Literature Alexandra Reichelt A Thesis Presented to the Department of Literature, Area Studies, and European Languages University of Oslo In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the MA Degree Spring 2016 I II III Law’s Fictions Reading Law as Literature Alexandra Reichelt IV © Alexandra Reichelt 2016 Law’s Fictions: Reading Law as Literature Alexandra Reichelt http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo V VI Abstract This thesis seeks to explore how narrative functions in law, and how case law can be read as literature. The analysis is based on the close-reading of three central judgements in the field of negligence, a kind of tort law, in British common law. Applying narratology to law demands certain adaptations, such as the inclusion of the narrator into the implied author. There are also narratives structures that are particular to case law. The analysis focuses on three main aspects of case law as literature, in three judgements. The analysis of Donoghue v Stevenson concerns the frame narrative and the implied authors specially. The second judgement, Smith v Leech Brain, is centred around fact narratives, or statements of fact. Finally, the analysis of Nettleship v Weston focuses on competing narratives. Throughout this thesis is focused on the ethics of literature, as seen in the implied authors’ ethical standards. This thesis seeks to prove that literary analysis can be applied to case law, and that there are aspects of judgements that can only be unearthed through literary analysis. VII VIII Acknowledgements First, thank you to my supervisors, Tore Rem and Rebecca Scherr, for allowing me to explore my mad ideas and helping me do it.
