The 1960s, in retrospect, may be chiefly remembered for the
unprecedented constitutional developments it witnessed in countries
emerging from colonial rule. Originally published in 1963, an
examination of these constitutional developments from the
authoritative pens of the previous Legal Adviser to the Colonial
and Commonwealth Relations Offices, and the Legal Adviser to the
Colonial Office at the time was, therefore, particularly timely –
for no two men in human history can have had to draft so many
constitutional instruments. One after another of these new
constitutions had, moreover, included certain ‘Fundamental
Rights’, so a discussion of this subject by a recognised academic
authority, together with an examination by an ex-Chief Justice of
Allahabad of the constitutional writs which have been so widely
used in India to protect these rights, was particularly
appropriate. An erudite examination of the origins of the famous
phrase ‘Justice, Equity and Good Conscience’ by the Reader in
Oriental Laws in the University of London, fittingly concludes the
first half of this volume. Legal developments in these emergent
countries, had, however, by no means been limited to the sphere of
constitutional law. So the series continues with contributions on
the legal profession in African territories, by a former President
of the Law Society, and on the problems posed by Islamic law in
that continent, by the Professor of Oriental Laws. Criminal Law is
represented by a consideration of ‘Liability under the Nigerian
Criminal Code’ by an ex-Chief Justice of the Western Region;
matters economic and sociological by papers on ‘Legal Development
and Economic Growth in Africa’ and ‘Women’s Status and Law
Reform’ by two experts in Africa law; and developments in Asia by
an examination of recent legislation on family law in Pakistan, and
of the sources of Chinese Law in Hong Kong, by other members of the
staff of the School of Oriental and African Studies.
