In this briefing we revisit key points in relation to
the implementation of the Convention on International Interests in
Mobile Equipment in Bermuda and describe the declarations that have
been made in connection with that implementation and the effect of
those declarations.
The Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment
concluded in Cape Town, South Africa on 16 November 2001, commonly
known as the Cape Town Convention (the Convention), came into force
in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2015. Following ratification,
the United Kingdom made a declaration under Article 52 of the
Convention extending its application to Bermuda, with the
Convention consequently coming into force in Bermuda on 1 January
2018.
