Attorneys General from seven Overseas Territories (OTs) gather in Grand Cayman for three days this week.
They are scheduled to deliberate with officials from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) as well as top legal personnel from the UK, US and Canada.
The 20th annual conference of OTs’ attorneys general begins on Tuesday (11 October) at the Marriott Beach Resort Grand Cayman at 9 a.m.
The meeting will provide a forum for discussions ranging from each territory’s legal issues and subjects of mutual interest, to the new White Paper on the UK’s relationship with the OTs.
Attendees include UK Solicitor General Edward Garnier, FCO’s OT Department Director Colin Roberts and attorneys general from Anguilla, Montserrat, Pitcairn, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, and Turks and Caicos.
Participants at the opening ceremony on Tuesday include His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Duncan Taylor, CBE; Premier the Hon. McKeeva Bush, OBE, JP and Cayman’s Attorney General the Hon. Samuel Bulgin, QC.
Mr. Bulgin noted: “I am delighted that Cayman is hosting the event this year. I look forward to comments from my counterparts and discussions on the challenges we face.”
