Biography

Appearing as sole advocate in the BVI Court for Titan Resources Management Limited, a group company of Titan Petrochemicals Group Limited, in relation to the successful approval of a BVI scheme of arrangement for which Harneys won the Asia Transformation and Turnaround Association (ATTA) Legal Services Award.

Advising and appearing as sole advocate successfully arguing for the termination of a court-appointed receiver’s appointment and further procuring an inter partes costs order exonerating the Defendant’s shares from the receivers’ lien which automatically came into being over those shares when the receivers were appointed. It is not thought that such a costs order has previously been made in the BVI or elsewhere.

Appearing as junior in the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal on the successful Westburg Anstalt v Profitstar Anstalt appeal which led to an important reinterpretation of the CPR’s rules on service of process out of the jurisdiction and which has now been enshrined in a vital amendment to CPR rule 7.3(5). This has resulted in the door being opened to the common law enforcement of foreign judgments in the BVI.
