History

[edit]

Zanzibar became a British protectorate following theAnglo-German Agreement of 1890.^[2] AnOrder of Council created Her Britannic Majesty's Court for Zanzibar with a presiding judge in 1897^[3] and another order established the High Court in 1925.^[4] The protectorate gained its independence in December 1963 as a constitutional monarchy inside the Commonwealth and after a revolution a month later was transformed into the Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba.^[5]

In 1964 it merged withTanganyika into the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, which later in that year was renamed toUnited Republic of Tanzania.^[6] Despite the unification both parts of the new state retained their former judicial systems.
