It will examine such matters as the peculiar international status of Cyprus during the first period of British rule, the Cypriot constitutional regime, the struggle between Ottoman and English law,
the personal law of the island’s Muslim and Christian communities, and the question of how ‘British’ was the law which was introduced in the late British Period.
There will also be a discussion of touching upon some of the most emblematic cases of the period.
