ABSTRACT
Appeal from the Criminal High Court (or Supreme Court or Circuit Court as it may be variously termed) lies to the Court of Appeal. In the Eastern Caribbean States the countries which subscribe to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court Act 1 share a joint Court of Appeal which sits as a Circuit Court in the various countries. 2 The other Commonwealth Caribbean States each have their own Court of Appeal which in some cases (as in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, for instance) may have more than one court sitting at a time.
