Caribbean Court of Justice Judge, the Honourable Mr. Justice Winston Anderson has authored the second edition of his Caribbean Private International Law, published September, 2014 by Sweet & Maxwell, London. The first book in the region to exclusively address the means by which Caribbean courts resolve multinational disputes, the 600-page work describes the conceptual and practical legal problems that are likely to arise in resolving cross-border disputes and shows how such problems are approached under the national legal systems of Member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). First published in 2003, this seminal work was inspired by the need for persons to gain a deeper appreciation of the decreasing role of English law and the ways in which Caribbean
case law and legislation are defining a body of private international law uniquely suited to the economic and social developmental needs of the region. Caribbean Private International Law examines multi-jurisdictional disputes increasingly thrown up through liberalization of markets and revolutions in technology as well as transnational family law, property and succession problems. Hailed by various legal jurists throughout the region as a “scholarly masterpiece of special Caribbean relevance”, Justice Anderson’s book has been described by globally renowned international law practitioner Sir Trevor Carmichael QC as a “…significant watershed in Caribbean legal publications” who goes on to say “it represents a milestone in the development of a growing Caribbean jurisprudence in an area of law that is both complex and fascinating”. Justice Anderson has been a judge at the Caribbean Court of Justice since 2010 having previously served as a professor of law at the University of the West Indies and a General Counsel for CARICOM. His Principles of Caribbean Environmental Law was published in
December, 2012 by the Environmental Law Institute, Washington.
