A lawyer said on RJR's 'That's A Rap' today that the Privy Council still makes our laws. I hope that I am not misquoting the lawyer. I did not know that the Privy Council makes laws for Jamaica. My understanding is that the Privy Council interprets the law and sets precedents based on its interpretation of the law.
The discussion on radio was about a case being filed in the Jamaican court to have the Obeah Act declared unconstitutional. In trying to get rid of outdated colonial laws, we should not throw out the baby with the bathwater. If an obeah man takes money from someone to do acts that he is not capable of doing, could that be dealt with under another law if the Obeah Act is repealed?
Can the lawyers help me with this one?
