I am trying to find out if The Bahamas is a race jurisdiction or a
race-notice jurisdiction. I have been asked for legislative histories
on two statutes; Conveyance and law of Property, Chapter 123 section
57 Part 10 (1909) and Registration of Records Chapter 175 section 10
(1928). The person also asked me to "shepardize" 1 Law Reports of the
Bahamas 349 Security Trust Company v Carl G. Fisher. (Right!)
I have looked in Foreign Law: Current Sources of Codes and Legislation
in Jurisdictions of the World; the Law Digest of Martindale-Hubbell;
and law reviews which are the only helpful items I have in my
collection. I have also called two libraries and talked to their
international collection librarians and I have tried to reach the
consulate.
Is there anyone out there who can point me in a direction to answer
this question - and tell me where sources might be located? I know
very little about the law of the Bahamas (as one might imagine).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
