Un reciente pronunciamiento del orden contencioso-administrativo resulta sumamente útil en una controversia que parece irresoluble. La sentencia se pronuncia sobre un supuesto fáctico que precisa aplicar la Ley Concursal en su redacción anterior a la reforma del 2014.

In the January 2018 edition of our dispute resolution and insolvency bulletin, we review eight cases from the BVI Commercial Court and BVI Court of Appeal from the past year. As most readers will be aware, the main non-legal news last year was that in September 2017, the British Virgin Islands were hit by category five hurricanes Irma and Maria which caused considerable devastation. The BVI Commercial Court temporarily relocated to St Lucia and impressively got back on its feet quickly in order to support the international financial services business of the BVI.
