Pitcairn law
comprises (a) laws (called "ordinances") made by the Governor, (b)
United Kingdom legislation and Orders in Council extending to Pitcairn,
and (c) the common law, rules of equity, and statutes of general
application as in force in England for the time being, so far as local
circumstances and the limits of local jurisdiction permit, and subject
to any existing or future ordinance (see s 42 of the Pitcairn
Constitution).
This page provides links to Pitcairn Ordinances made by the Governor. A Revised Edition of Pitcairn Ordinances was compiled by Paul Treadwell OBE, LLB, QC, Legal Adviser to the Governor, in 2001, pursuant to the Revised Edition of the Laws Ordinance 2001. Thereafter Annual Revisions have been made pursuant to the Annual Revision of Laws Ordinance 2002, cap 32. On this page the right hand column ("Alphabetical List") comprises links to the Revised Edition of 2001 as revised by Annual Revisions down to 30-Jun-2010. Ordinances enacted after 30-Jun-2010 appear below under the heading "Amendments". These ordinances should be taken into account when consulting the Ordinances in the Alphabetical List. Some are new ordinances and some make amendments to those in the Alphabetical List. Ordinances are posted to this website as soon as possible after they are made by the Governor. Ordinances take effect as from the date of publication in Pitcairn unless it is provided otherwise by ordinance. The Laws of Pitcairn, incorporating Annual Revisions down to 30-Jun-2010, are available in hard copy (a two volume loose-leaf set) from the Pitcairn Islands Office in Auckland.
