VALUE ADDED LEGAL RESEARCH TOOL IS HERE TO HELP YOU What are “annotated laws”? They are revised laws of Fiji with full historical notes, value added case references and judicial comments, and pointers to other useful laws which cross-reference that law. These features help a lawmaker or user discern the purpose of the law, how the courts have interpreted various sections of the law, and point to other laws which impact that law. Justice Nazhat Shameem, formerly of the High Court of Fiji described it thus: “The Annotated Laws provide full and helpful footnotes which comment on particular sections of the law in light of judicial decisions. The Annotated Laws therefore provide a direct source of local common law and statute in one volume. When a judge is working to a strict schedule, and has limited time to look up authorities in order to deliver rulings in the course of trial, such a research facility becomes immensely useful….” Current users - the judiciary, DPP, Legal Aid Commission, FICAC, major accounting firms, various statutory bodies, some commercial organisations, various law firms, an insurance firm and banks - find it a useful adjunct to their legal research. You cannot follow the rule of law unless you know what the rule is. You can order annotated Fiji laws in softcopy format from our e-shopTM. Please feel free to browse our e-shop and add items to your cart. Or contact us if you would like assistance with any of our other services.
