12KBW in the Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands seem a very long way from 12 King’s Bench Walk. However, for the next 6 weeks 12KBW will have an annexe there. There are only three courts in the Cayman Islands and while Andrew Hogarth QC is appearing for the “Plaintiff” in one of the courts, Richard Davison will be appearing for the “Plaintiff” in the court next door. I suspect that they have packed their sunglasses.
