Extract

This paper is concerned mainly with the situation arising from the recognition of African customary law in the three largest of the East African territories administered under the authority of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom—viz. Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. It will not be necessary, for the present purpose, to take any account of differences in constitutional status between the territories concerned.
