BASSETERRE, ST KITTS, FEDERATION OF ST KITTS & NEVIS, JANUARY 16, 2023 – The Law
Commission of St Kitts & Nevis in fulfilling its legislative mandate as contained in the Law Commission
Act, Cap.1.01, has completed another revision of the Laws of St Kitts & Nevis and the Ordinances of
Nevis consolidated and revised for the period January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020.
This morning, the Minister of Justice & Legal Affairs Senator the Hon. Garth Wilkin and Officer in the
Law Commission Mr Rohan Walters presented the revised Laws to Prime Minister, the Hon. Dr
Terrance Drew at the Prime Minister’s Office. The Prime Minister was presented with the 2020 revised
supplement bounded in 6 volumes and a pen drive containing the 2002, 2009, 2017 & 2020 Edition
of the Laws.
The Law Commission’s work also includes the maintenance and updating of the legislative website
database which hosts the repository for the laws and ordinances of St Kitts and Nevis, available at
LawCommission.gov.kn.
As with the 2017 Revised Edition, the 2020 supplement was executed by the Law Commission in
conjunction and consultation with the Regional Law Revision Centre in Anguilla. The Regional Law
Revision Centre was incorporated in Anguilla on January 11, 2007 and was set up by the British
government to assist its overseas territories with cost effective law consolidation, revision and printing
as opposed to the territories using the costly services of the UK based printers and publishers. Since
its inception, the Centre has been the one-stop-shop for law revision for independent jurisdictions
such as, Bahamas, Belize, Seychelles, and recently Guyana, to date the Centre has trained 320 persons
from 20 countries in law revision and consolidation.
The Government of St Kitts and Nevis is pleased with its collaboration with the Centre and values its
partnership. Consequently, the laws and ordinances can be purchased from the Ministry of Justice and
Legal Affairs. Orders can also be made by utilising the “Order Form” on the Law Commission’s website
and clicking “Publication” on the website’s front page.
The pricing structure for the laws and ordinances are as follows:
(1) 2020 revised supplement bounded in 6 volumes, 1-6: – EC$2700
(2) Pen drive containing the 2002, 2009, 2017 & 2020 Edition of the Laws – EC$675
