  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests.

  • Mental Capacity Issues
    Mental Capacity Issues - Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands Rowena Lawrence is Counsel and Tim Haynes is a Partner at Walkers (First appeared in the STEP Hong Kong Branch Newsletter (December 2015) Rowena Lawrence and Tim Haynes of Walkers provide an overview of the relevant regimes for mental capacity legislation in the BVI and the Cayman Islands. Hong Kong’s ageing population and the ongoing popularity of offshore structures will make the legislation in the major offshore jurisdictions concerning mental capacity issues increasingly relevant. Perhaps conscious of this, the legislators in both the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and the Cayman Islands have recently updated their rules in this area. The mental health legislation in both the Cayman Islands and the BVI has been reformed relatively recently to safeguard the rights of mentally incapacitated individuals. That legislation provides the courts with broad powers over the property and affairs of mental health patients. Given the constantly evolving jurisdictional arguments that arise in the courts of both Cayman and BVI, while it is unusual for individuals who are parties to Financial Services Division (Cayman) or Commercial Division (BVI) actions to be resident in those jurisdictions, there are circumstances in which it may be necessary to consider the application of laws of those jurisdictions when incapacitated persons are involved. An application to the offshore court may be made in a number of situations, for example where the individual concerned holds property (most obviously shares in an offshore company) in the offshore jurisdiction or where there is no obvious or effective order available in the jurisdiction in which the incapacitated individual resides.

  • Caribbean Food Crops Society
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE CARIBBEAN FOOD CROPS SOCIETY EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING SANTO DOMINGO DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 197 0 VOLUME VIII 29 THE EVALUATION OF TOMATO VARIETIES IN THE LEEWARD ISLANDS: A PROGRESS REPORT St. C. M. Forde Leeward Islands Agronomist University of the West Indies St. John's Antigua INTRODUCTION In the Leeward Islands the production of tomatoes is largely in the hands of peasant farmers who make use of commercially available varieties. The crop is established during the period September- November and matures in December-March which coincides with the dry season and also the period, of lowest mean minimum temperatures (70- 72°F). Even at the peak of production, local market demands in Antigua and St. Kitts are not satisfied, but production levels in Montserrat allow for some export of produce to the New York as well as other Caribbean markets. The main problems associated with the industry are the evalua tion of commercially available varieties according to time of plan- ting, and extending production into the dry season by the introduc- tion of irrigation. At the University of the West Indies research in tomato breeding is aimed at developing varieties for increased yield under dry season conditions and high yielding varieties that will set fruit at night temperatures above 72° for wet season production. However there is a pressing need in the Leeward Islands to examine the performance of the commercial varieties available in the area, especially in relation to time of planting. It is against this background that this work was undertaken. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five 6x5 randomised complete block trials were carried out in Antigua, Montserrat and St.

  • Archeacon of Gibraltar and Archdeacon of Italy and Malta
    The Bishop in Europe: The Right Reverend Dr. Robert Innes The Suffragan Bishop in Europe: The Right Reverend David Hamid ARCHEACON OF GIBRALTAR AND ARCHDEACON OF ITALY AND MALTA Statement from the Bishops The Diocese in Europe is the 42nd Diocese of the Church of England. We are by far the biggest in terms of land area, as we range across over 42 countries in a territory approximately matching that covered by the Council of Europe, as well as Morocco. We currently attract unprecedented interest within the Church of England, as we are that part of the Church that specifically maintains links with continental Europe at a time of political uncertainty between the UK and the rest of Europe. Along with that, we have been in the fortunate position of being able to recruit some very high calibre lay and ordained staff. To help oversee our vast territory we have two bishops, the Diocesan Bishop Robert Innes who is based in Brussels, and the Suffragan Bishop David Hamid who is based in London. We have a diocesan office within Church House Westminster. We maintain strong connections with staff in the National Church Institutions. Importantly, and unlike English dioceses, our chaplaincies pay for their own clergy, and the diocese has relatively few support staff. Each appointment matters greatly to us. The diocesan strategy was formulated and approved over the course of 2015. We are emphasising our commitment to building up congregational life, our part in the re- evangelisation of the continent; our commitment to reconciliation at every level; and our particular role in serving the poor, the marginalised and the migrant.

  • UK Overseas Territories
    INFORMATION PAPER United Kingdom Overseas Territories - Toponymic Information United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself. The Queen is the Head of State of all the UKOTs, and she is represented by a Governor or Commissioner (apart from the UK Sovereign Base Areas that are administered by MOD). Each Territory has its own Constitution, its own Government and its own local laws. The 14 territories are: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory (BAT); British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT); British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Turks and Caicos Islands; UK Sovereign Base Areas. PCGN recommend the term ‘British Overseas Territory Capital’ for the administrative centres of UKOTs. Production of mapping over the UKOTs does not take place systematically in the UK. Maps produced by the relevant territory, preferably by official bodies such as the local government or tourism authority, should be used for current geographical names. National government websites could also be used as an additional reference. Additionally, FCDO and MOD briefing maps may be used as a source for names in UKOTs. See the FCDO White Paper for more information about the UKOTs. ANGUILLA The territory, situated in the Caribbean, consists of the main island of Anguilla plus some smaller, mostly uninhabited islands. It is separated from the island of Saint Martin (split between Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Netherlands)), 17km to the south, by the Anguilla Channel.
