Jersey Corporate/Commercial Law

Oliver has written for Trusts and Trustees about three trust cases in which public policy arguments relating to the Jersey finance industry were raised.

This article explores how such arguments have been dealt with by the Jersey court, and - given that public policy has been described as an 'unruly horse' - seeks to identify whether there has been a consistency of approach. In particular, this article considers how the court has treated the arguments, which are sometimes made, that the law should be interpreted so as to ensure that Jersey's finance industry is attractive to prospective settlors.
