BRITISH POSSESSIONS

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 63 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRITISH POSSESSIONS .The Judicature Acts of most of the Colonies have also adopted
English
  Law. Parts of the French Code de
procedure
  civile are still in force in Mauritius. But its provisions have been modified by local enactment (No. 19 of 1868) as regards realty, and the rules of the Supreme
Court
  1903 have introduced the
English
  forms of writs. Quebec and St Lucia, where French law formerly prevailed, have now their own codes of Civil
Procedure
 . The law of execution under the Quebec Code resembles the French, that under the St Lucia Code the English
system
 . In British Guiana and
Ceylon
 , in which Roman Dutch law in one form or another prevailed, the English law of execution has now in substance been adopted (British Guiana Rules of
Court
 , 1900, Order xxxvi.).,
Ceylon
  (Code of Civil Procedure, No. 2 of 1889) ; the modes of execution in the
South
 
African
  Colonies are also the subject of local enactment, largely influenced by English law (cf. the Sheriffs'
Ordinance
 , 1902, No. 9 of 1902), (Orange River Colony) and (Proclamation 17 of 1902), Transvaal (Nathan, Common Law of
South
  Africa, vol. iv. p. 2206) ; and generally, Van Zyl, Judicial Practice of South Africa, pp. 198 et seq.
