Background to the Laws of Jamaica
(Statutes)
The Laws of Jamaica (Statutes) were, in modern times, revised in 1938 and again in 1953. However, the volume of legislation enacted by Parliament after 1953 made a further revision imperative. Accordingly, legislation was enacted, the Law Revision Act, 1969, establishing the Law Revision Committee. The Committee operates under the authority of the Law Revision Act.
The Revised Laws published in 1974 included all Acts in force at 31st December, 1973 and since then have been updated annually.
The Revised Laws are now contained in twenty-seven volumes: Volume XXVIII contains the Chronological Table and Volume XXIX contains the Jamaica (Constitution) Order in Council, the Jamaica Independence Act and the West Indies Act.
