Ms. Yolande Dash (far right) and Workshop Participants
16th October, 2015 The Valley, Anguilla. The Regional Law Revision Centre Inc. (“The Centre”) hosted another successful Consolidation of Laws training programme. The training was conducted at its offices at Hannah-Waver House at the Caribbean Commercial Center on 15th and 16th October, 2015. The workshop was attended by the following participants:
1. Ms. Ann-Marie Coombs representing the Chief Parliamentary Counsel’s Office, Barbados;
2. Mr. José Griffith representing the Law Reform Commission, Cayman Islands;
3. Ms. Cilma Wade representing the Attorney General’s Chambers, Montserrat; and
4. Mrs. Evanis Wallace, staff member of the Regional Law Revision Centre Inc.
The Course Facilitator, Ms. Yolande Dash, presented an informative programme, which provided participants with an in-depth understanding of the Consolidation cycle and its impact on the Chambers. Ms. Dash also presented various techniques in successfully managing this cycle which in turn would ensure that detailed methods are administered to produce a successful Consolidation exercise. Consolidation is a continuous process of compiling all amending laws over the years into a principal legislation for ease of reference.
The programme concluded on Friday 16th October, 2015 with a closing ceremony during which a certificate of attendance was presented to the participants. In attendance was Her Excellency the Governor Christina Scott, Attorney General Hon. Rupert Jones and other specially invited guests.
The Consolidation training programme which commenced in 2009 now forms part of the Centre’s annual schedule of activities and this round of training is the second conducted thus far for 2015. Over the years participants from 16 Islands have attended training and the Centre is expecting 3 new Caribbean Islands to send participants to the next training program scheduled for 29th and 30th October, 2015.
