it clear when laws are the<br />
same or similar, and statutory<br />
law in the Caribbean<br />
is compared to English<br />
Law throughout. Statute<br />
law and common law are<br />
examined in the relevant<br />
jurisdictions including<br />
Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana,<br />
Barbados, Jamaica<br />
and Grenada among others.<br />
Although the laws<br />
of each jurisdiction have<br />
many things in common,<br />
Seetahal makes it clear<br />
when differences in laws<br />
between the jurisdictions<br />
apply. The impact of statutory<br />
changes are also<br />
analyzed alongside recent<br />
developments. Revised<br />
throughout, this new edition<br />
addresses the recent<br />
changes in law in St Lucia<br />
and the Bahamas bringing<br />
this popular text right up to<br />
date. Although it has been<br />
written for law students, as<br />
the only book which deals<br />
specifically with criminal<br />
practice and procedure in<br />
the Caribbean, it is also a<br />
useful reference tool for<br />
criminal justice professionals.<br />

Books, PB, £20.00, ISBN:<br />
1842193007<br />
This Code of Practice,<br />
based on the second edition<br />
of Service Charges in<br />
Commercial Property: A<br />
Guide to Good Practice,<br />
has been written in the<br />
light of UK government<br />
concerns about disputes<br />
over service charges and<br />
their alleged lack of transparency.<br />
Also, since the<br />
second edition of the Guide<br />
was published in 2000, expectations<br />
of services have<br />
increased, and owners and<br />
occupiers are favouring a<br />
more consensual approach<br />
rather than the adversarial<br />
positioning that was formerly<br />
the case.<br />

rather than an academic<br />
approach to the topic,<br />

Designed to cover points<br />

day-to-day practice, the<br />
text explains the various<br />
procedures that must<br />
be followed as a claim<br />
