Note
  • "Whether you are interested in history, the law, the world of business or things Jamaican, Paul Levy's chronicle of the legal aftermath of Kingston's disastrous 1907 earthquake is a fascinating literary gem. Its accurate, plain-English description of the legal processes in this remarkable litigation are accessible to lawyers and laymen alike. The journey through the courts is entwined with delightful anecdotes that bring to life a neglected period of our colonial past. The book therefore constitutes an important contribution to the recording of Jamaica's rich legal history, written by a lawyer whose family has played a significant part in that heritage"--Cover page 4.
