Three Bermudian Supreme Court judges are now able to sit part-time in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Chief Justice Ian Kawaley has been appointed as a judge of the Grand Court Financial Services Division, with Puisne Judges Carlisle Greaves and Stephen Hellman appointed to the Grand Court General Division Panel of Acting Judges.

Mr Justice Kawaley said in a press release: “I am honoured to have been afforded the opportunity to assist the Financial Services Division of the Cayman Islands Grand Court in an acting capacity from time to time and insofar as my other judicial commitments permit.

“The legal system in the Cayman Islands has much in common with Bermuda’s legal system. It is not inconceivable that we may in the future need to supplement our own judicial ranks and may in turn seek assistance from the Caymanian Bench.”
