Cayman Islands Litigation: Duty of Full and Frank Disclosure

It is a core principle of justice in the Cayman Islands that both an Applicant and a Respondent be given an opportunity to address the Court before a Court Order is made. However, in certain circumstances, the Cayman Islands Court does allow an Applicant to apply for a Court Order without notifying the Respondent. These are known as without notice or ex-parte applications.

Stuarts' Partner and Head of Litigation, Richard Annette and Senior Associate, Adam Russell-Knee discuss the duty of full and frank disclosure in the Cayman Islands courts.
