Remote advocacy in Cayman Islands hearings

While rights of general admission are only granted to persons resident in the Cayman Islands, as a senior, experienced and highly specialised practising member of the Chancery Bar of England & Wales, I can appear as counsel in any hearing in the Courts of Cayman, if granted limited admission on a case specific basis, i.e. as and when required, because I can add value in a complex international trust dispute.

In order to be admitted, I would need to be instructed by a local attorney who would provide a supporting affidavit about why my services are required in the case that is before the Cayman Islands Court, i.e. because of my specialist knowledge and expertise.

The practice would appear to be the same in the courts of the British Virgin Islands.

In Australia and New Zealand I can also apply for temporary audience rights from their Law Societies.

Where the hearing takes place remotely, I can appear as an advocate working from 1 Essex Court, or at a solicitors’ office in London.

I am investigating whether the same rule applies to international trust litigation hearings in the courts of: Bahamas; Bermuda; Dubai (DIFC Courts); Gibraltar; Isle of Man; Malaysia; and Singapore. If you are a trust practitioner in any of these jurisdictions and would like to contact me to enquire about how we can work together in an international trust/breach of fiduciary duty case, please send an introductory email to carl@ihtbar.com.

As an SCMA accredited mediation advocate, I can represent a party in a virtual mediation in any of these jurisdictions, and again would only act, if instructed by a local attorney.
