  • Anglin v Governor of the Cayman Islands [2025] UKPC 30, Cay

    Anglin v Governor of the Cayman Islands [2025] UKPC 30, Cay
    Jul 9 2025

    This week, constitutional law! When can the Governor of a British Overseas Territory just write and enact a law? When can the King? How does this extreme power for the Crown to just make laws fit into the constitutional framework of overseas territories? And what exactly does ‘external affairs’ mean?

  • Attorney General v Buray [2025] UKPC 22, Cay

    Attorney General v Buray [2025] UKPC 22, Cay
    May 28 2025

    This week, a question about the boundaries of judicial review: should a court engage in hypothetical review of a statute even if no one can demonstrate injury? What is the function of a declaration of incompatibility? The case might be about hypotheticals, but the fun of analysing it is real!

    Methanex Trinidad (Titan) Unltd v Inland Revenue [2025] UKPC 20, T&T⁠
    May 19 2025

    This week, it’s question of tax law from Trinidad & Tobago! What does it mean to be an ‘artificial’ or ‘fictitious’ transaction? Plus, my usual grumbling about how slow some tax cases are to make it to the Board.
