CCJ Bills to be debated in Jamaica next week
Three bills that are seeking to have the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) established as Jamaica’s final appellate court will now be debated.
Phillip Paulwell, the Leader of Government Business in the House of Representatives, said on Tuesday 11 November, that the debate is to commence next Tuesday.
Three CCJ bills are currently on the table of the House awaiting debate. Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller gave notice of second reading of the bills on April 23 last year. With the proposed legislation seeking to amend an entrenched section of the Constitution, the bill must sit on the table of the House for three months before debate.
