Local Courts Handbook 2005

This is the latest edition of the Local Courts Handbook. I am confident that this Handbook will assist the Local Courts in dispensing justice and making sound decisions in that regard. I would like to thank Mr. David Chetwynd, Mr. Rex Foukona and Mr. Errol Gibson, a Prosecutions Adviser, Solomon Islands Law and Justice Sector Institutional Strengthening Program for their work in updating this Handbook. Finally, the work of the late Mr. Takoa, MBE, the Local Courts Officer who wrote the 1979 version of this Handbook should not be forgotten.
