  • Developing Cross-Bailiwick Restructuring Laws: the Guernsey
    Developing cross-bailiwick restructuring laws: The Guernsey and Jersey Royal Courts sanction cross-border pooling of assets and liabilities of insolvent companies Publication - 01/04/2020 Overview In decisions delivered on 24 August 2015 and 7 October the Royal Courts of Guernsey Court and Jersey respectively held that where the affairs of two insolvent companies (incorporated in Jersey and Guernsey respectively) are so intermingled that the expense of unravelling them would adversely affect distributions to creditors, it can be appropriate to treat the companies as a single entity. Having concluded that there was no bar in the legislative framework of Guernsey which would prevent such an application and with the interests of creditors firmly to the fore, the Deputy Bailiff of Guernsey granted a proposal by the Joint Liquidators (from Grant Thornton) to consolidate the assets and liabilities of a Guernsey company with the assets and liabilities of a related, but separate company incorporated in Jersey subject to the sanction of the Jersey Court. The Jersey Court subsequently reached a similar conclusion in terms of its jurisdiction to grant a pooling order. This is the first time the Guernsey Court has considered and granted such an order, which has allowed a procedure which, on its face, would appear to contradict basic principles i.e. separate legal personality and that creditors can only share in the assets of the company against which they are entitled to lodge a claim. Acknowledging the inevitable rise of cross-jurisdictional corporate insolvencies, the Guernsey Court confirmed the basic purpose of a liquidation was the realisation of a company’s assets for the benefit of its creditors and held that where there was a solution whereby creditors would receive more than they otherwise would, then common sense dictated that such a solution should find favour with the Court.

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

  • Competition Law Competition Law
    Competition Law Competition Law Competitive Guernsey Guernsey has been considering the introduction of local competition law since at least 2005 and, by bringing into effect The Competition (Guernsey) Ordinance, 2012 on 1 August 2012, has introduced an effective Competition Law regime, to regulate the 3 core areas recognised in most competition regimes, namely the abuse of a dominant position, anti-competitive arrangements, and mergers and acquisitions. The history of the journey from 2005, or earlier, to now is beyond the scope of this article, but it may surprise a number of those who complain that such legislation is novel and unnecessary for Guernsey, as it is neither a member of the United Kingdom nor the EU, to realise that in fact Competition Law in its wider sense has applied in Guernsey for many years. Any agreement or conduct which affects trade between, for example, Guernsey and Ireland and France would be subject to Irish, French and broader EU competition rules. This was confirmed in the case of The Community v Konica UK Limited and Konica Europe GmbH back in 1988. Prior to the introduction of Guernsey's first competition law, Guernsey largely used UK law for the basis of its rules, notably, for instance, in relation to mergers and acquisitions. Logically and sensibly Guernsey's competition law is largely modelled on those already in force in Europe and its fellow Channel Island jurisdiction of Jersey. Findings of anti-competitive behaviour by the European Commission can be headline international news, often for the size of fine which can be imposed for abuses of a dominant position, but also for the imposition of conditions on a merger or even blocking the merger entirely, if it is decided that the merger would hinder effective competition.

  • Jersey & Guernsey Law Review | a Guernsey Look at Spread Trustee In
    STJ A ROBILLIARD A GUERNSEY LOOK AT SPREAD TRUSTEE IN THE PC Jersey & Guernsey Law Review – October 2011 A GUERNSEY LOOK AT SPREAD TRUSTEE IN THE PRIVY COUNCIL1 St John A Robilliard The Privy Council’s decision underlines Guernsey trust law’s dependence on English law. At the same time its treatment of the concept of acting en bon père de famille might have been more definitive had a fuller exploration of the use of that term in the customary law been made. Background 1 The road to the Privy Council decision began in 20012 when Alan Stuart Hutcheson, the uncle of the present applicant, commenced first an action against Spread for the production of information about a trust and its underlying company and then a substantive action for breach of trust on the ground that investment in the shares of a particular company had led to considerable loss. This action for information went to the Guernsey Court of Appeal.3 2 That Court had to consider what the Guernsey law on beneficiaries’ rights to trust information was prior to the coming into force of the Trusts (Guernsey) Law 1989 (“the 1989 Trust Law”). In order to determine the question, examples of the use of trusts in Guernsey in the 19th and early 20th centuries were placed before the court, which commented— “Trusts do not form part of Norman Law from which Guernsey customary law is, in part, derived. The trust is, in origin, an English Law concept, developed by English judges and subsequently by the courts of those countries whose law is, or is derived from, English Law.

  • Guernsey’S Policy on Tax Information Exchange Agreements (“Tieas”) and Double Taxation Arrangements (“Dtas”) (Updated to 1 May 2015)
    Guernsey’s policy on Tax Information Exchange Agreements (“TIEAs”) and Double Taxation Arrangements (“DTAs”) (Updated to 1 May 2015) Background The Government of Guernsey has a long-standing commitment to being a well-regulated, co- operative and transparent international finance centre. In January 2011 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its report on Guernsey as part of its financial stability assessment programme. The IMF concluded that Guernsey has met or exceeded the internationally accepted regulatory standards as endorsed by the G20. For example, the IMF concluded that Guernsey’s level of compliance with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations exceeded that of any other jurisdiction. Guernsey was included on the first OECD exchange of tax information “White List” established in 2009. In 2010, Guernsey was subject to the first of a two-phase peer review of its tax information exchange frameworks. Phase 2 took place in late 2012. The Report ,which was adopted by the Global Forum in April 2013, found Guernsey’s legislative and administrative regime to have in place all of the elements necessary for meeting the international standards on transparency and information exchange (with only minor elements needing improvement). As a consequence, in November 2013, the Global Forum rated Guernsey as “Largely Compliant” overall, a rating that it shares with jurisdictions such as the UK and the USA. Introduction Guernsey has been fully committed to the OECD Project on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes for many years. Guernsey commenced negotiations on its first TIEA at the end of 2001, gave formal commitment to the OECD process in February 2002 and concluded its first TIEA, with the United States, in September 2002.

  • The Role of Social Networks in Endangered Language Maintenance and Revitalization: the Case of Guernesiais in the Channel Islands
    The Role of Social Networks in Endangered Language Maintenance and Revitalization: The Case of Guernesiais in the Channel Islands JULIA SALLABANK School of Oriental and African Studies, London Abstract. Numerous studies have found that high-density, “traditional” social networks correlate with the use of low-status or local language varieties. Why some people maintain an ancestral language and transmit it to their children, while others abandon it, is a major issue in the study of language endangerment. This study focuses on Guernesiais, the endangered indigenous language of Guernsey, Channel Islands. Baseline data were collected using a questionnaire and semistructured interviews; ethnographic methods then shed light on ideologies, attitudes, and the processes of language shift. Availability of interlocutors correlates strongly with fluency, for both native speakers and learners, but the increasing age and linguistic isolation of many native speakers contributes to both individual and societal language loss, along with other factors. Options for supporting (or reconstituting) social networks through language planning are examined. 1. Background. Guernsey is an island in the English Channel, about eighty miles (130 kilometers) from Weymouth, the nearest British port, but only approximately twenty miles (thirty-two kilometers) from Carteret, the nearest French port. With an area of approximately twenty-five square miles (sixty-five square kilometers), it is the second largest of the Channel Islands, which are semiautonomous dependencies of the British Crown (Ogier 2005). Each Channel Island has, or had, its own variety of Norman French, although only those of Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark are still spoken. These verna- culars have been (dis)regarded for much of their history as low-status, degraded, or corrupted patois or dialects of French.

  • Trustees' Disclosure Obligations in Guernsey – Requests from Beneficiaries
    TRUSTEES' DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS IN GUERNSEY – REQUESTS FROM BENEFICIARIES JUNE 2020 Introduction All trustees will have had some experience of dealing with requests for trust information from beneficiaries. While more often than not these will be routine in nature, they can be the precursor to complaints by beneficiaries which in some cases can lead to litigation. Given the stakes, it is important that trustees properly understand their disclosure obligations so they can determine when and if they should provide the information sought. We have put together a straightforward step-by-step guide of the issues to consider when approaching an information request from beneficiaries of a Guernsey discretionary trust. Starting point The starting point when considering whether a trustee is required to hand over information or documents to a beneficiary is to be mindful of a trustee's overarching equitable duty to account to the beneficiaries which forms part of the irreducible core of a trustee's obligations. A beneficiary needs to be provided with certain information about the trust which enables it to enforce that duty.1 In Guernsey this irreducible common law duty is considered alongside statutory provisions in the Trusts (Guernsey) Law, 2007 (Trusts Law) in relation to the provision of information. Those statutory rights are principally contained in sections 26 and 38 of the Trusts Law. Section 26(1) requires a trustee, subject to the terms of the trust and at the written request of any beneficiary (amongst others), to provide full and accurate information as to the state and amount of the trust property (for example, trust accounts).
