	Jamaica Gleaner - Caribbean Court of Justice: Victory for good sense - Sunday \| February 6, 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		THE RULING of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) that the three Parliamentary acts to abolish the right of appeal to Her Majesty in Council and to substitute the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) as the final court of appeal were unconstitutional was a victory for good sense and good law.

		The Hinds case emphasised the point that, for courts to have equal jurisdiction with the Supreme Court and with the Court of Appeal, they must have security of tenure and be appointed in the same or similar manner to our judges of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.

		MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- The Philippine Supreme Court denied Tuesday a final appeal from a convicted child rapist for a further delay in the country's first judicial execution in 23 years.
		The court said the scheduled Feb. 5 execution by lethal injection of Leo Echegaray could proceed because Congress had been given a chance to review a law that reimposed the death penalty in 1994, and had decided not to do so.
		Echegaray's lawyers then appealed to the court to postpone the execution again, arguing that there was still a chance Congress might change its mind.
