explain the function of the system law court in Guyana
Answers
Answer:
The court system is intricately designed and sometimes can prove confusing, simply becauseGavel it’s one that has developed over hundreds of years. In Guyana today, each court has specific features and it’s often a mindboggling thing to know just what happens where.
A point to note is that there are several courts in Guyana: the Court of Appeal, Full Court, High Court, Magistrates’ Court and Land Court. While they are all a part of one body called the ‘Judiciary,’ there are specific distinctions.
My last feature focused on the realities of the Magistrates’ Court but this week I’ve endeavoured to offer a glimpse of just what happens inside the walls of the High Court.
Despite its name, the High Court is the third-highest court in the country and it stands, in power and responsibility, right above the Magistrates’ courts. There is one High Court but cases are heard by judges in each county at High Court buildings in Georgetown, Demerara; New Amsterdam, Berbice and Suddie, Essequibo.
