The provisions of the EU Directive 2011/61/EU on alternative investment fund managers (AIFMD) have been transposed into the Law on Alternative Investment Fund Managers L. 8(I)/2015, as in force (the Cyprus AIFM Law). On a Cyprus-specific level, the Law on Alternative Investment Funds L. 124(I)/2018 (the Cyprus AIF Law) put in place a regime applicable to the authorisation, operation and regulation of such collective investment vehicles that operate as alternative investment funds (AIFs) in various legal forms recognised by the Cyprus AIF Law.

The reason is straightforward: if the Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, the proceedings may effectively come to an end at the outset.
