Trinidad and Tobago
 

The islands of Trinidad and Tobago are located in the Eastern Caribbean Sea, northeast of Venezuela. The island of Trinidad was claimed by Christopher Columbus in 1498 and remained as a Spanish colony until 1797 when the British took control over the island. The island of Tobago was permanently disputed by Britain, France and the Netherlands until 1889 when both islands where incorporated into one colonial administration by Great Britain. Trinidad and Tobago became independent in 1962 within the Commonwealth of Nations.

A civil law system with Spanish law was established during the Spanish colonial era and remained in place for three centuries. In 1797 under British colonial administration the legal system transitioned to English law. The English common law, the doctrine of equity and statute law was implanted in colonial Trinidad and Tobago.

These collection of ordinances were acquired by FIU Law Library from Connecticut State Library.
