Abstract

Problems and conflicts are bound to occur when an outside centralised and uniform criminal legal system is implanted onto a totally different culture with no formal unified system of law. The purpose of this article is to examine such problems and look at how the courts have approached them generally and to consider the implications of the recent, important decision of the Solomon Islands Court of Appeal in Loumia v. D.P.P.
