The following session took place during the 2026 ABI International Caribbean Insolvency Symposium in January 2026. This panel will provide an in-depth examination of the statutory frameworks governing fraudulent transactions in both the Cayman Islands and the U.S. Through a comparative lens, the discussion will analyze how different jurisdictions approach avoidance actions and fraudulent-transfer claims. The panelists also will explore recent and influential decisions from the U.S., Cayman and English courts — including Bilta and Air Arabia — to illustrate emerging trends and judicial reasoning in cross-border insolvency matters. The session will conclude with a practical discussion of the strategic considerations, procedural hurdles and real-world challenges insolvency practitioners face when investigating and pursuing fraudulent transaction claims across jurisdictions.
