Harneys is pleased to report three judicial appointments to the BVI Commercial Court which are designed to increase the capacity of the Court in 2017. 

Justices Gerhard Wallbank and Roger Kaye QC are appointed to terms commencing 1 February 2017 and Justice John Carrington QC until 31 January 2017.  Practitioners of the court will be familiar with Justices Carrington and Wallbank, and Justice Kaye is welcomed from the English Chancery Court. The three appointments bring considerable depth and expertise to the BVI Commercial Court.

Andrew Thorp, head of Harneys' BVI Litigation practice, commented: "These appointments provide further momentum and expertise to the BVI Commercial Division and enhance the Court's ability to deal with complex cases promptly and effectively."
