Bulletin des arrêts du Tribunal de cassation, 1946-1948

The Bulletin des arrêts is the published record of the Tribunal de cassation, Haiti's court of final appeal. Each volume prints the rulings in full, each headed by the point of law decided, which makes the series usable: a reader can see how the court read a code article before reading the reasoning.

The title page states the exercice 1947-1948 and the dated audiences run 1946 to 1948 with 1947 dominant.

Sale, jurisdiction and property lead. This is the post-war docket, and taken with the 1948-1949 volume it closes the run the archive holds. The two together cover the years in which the Estimé government pursued the Exposition internationale and the internal loan that financed it, so the commercial litigation of the period sits beside a documented public-investment push.

Contract enforcement, the execution of judgments and the settlement of property claims are the constraints every business-climate diagnostic of Haiti names, and this series is the primary record of how the highest court actually decided them.
