Privy Council Watch · Forthcoming hearings
October 2026
A selective October Judicial Committee calendar focused on insolvency, commercial, company, property and offshore appeals.
Checked 14 September 2026 against the Michaelmas Term sitting list and every tracked official case page. Ritchie Capital Management LLC v Lancelot Investors Fund Ltd remains listed for 6 October on its case record but absent from the consolidated list. Replay Destinations (Bahamas) Ltd v Royal Ltd and another appears on the consolidated list for 27 October while its case record still says ‘Awaiting hearing date’ and displays a 20 October 2025 hearing. No speculative change has been made pending official clarification.
Each entry is an original, concise research summary based on the Court’s official case record. Hearing dates may change. After a hearing, the official case page normally adds recordings; when judgment is delivered, it adds the judgment, neutral citation and press summary. Those materials remain on the Court’s website and are linked here rather than reproduced.
EGALLYS Ltd v Information and Communication Technologies Authority
Question before the Court
Whether a company’s application to set aside a statutory demand could be dismissed because its sole director had not produced separate evidence of authority to represent it.
Why it matters
Of particular interest to insolvency practitioners and company lawyers because it joins statutory-demand procedure with corporate authority and access to the merits.
Ritchie Capital Management LLC and others v Lancelot Investors Fund Ltd (in Official Liquidation)
Question before the Court
Whether liquidation stops time running under the Cayman Islands Limitation Act for all liabilities, including tort claims, or only for the submission of proofs of debt.
Why it matters
A Cayman insolvency appeal concerning limitation, liquidation and claims exceeding US$200 million arising from a feeder-fund structure and cross-border insolvency.
Kitson v Phynn
Question before the Court
Whether a solicitor’s lien over client documents is defeated by a liquidator’s statutory production power and whether the committal documents required personal service.
Why it matters
A useful intersection of insolvency investigation powers, solicitors’ liens and the procedural safeguards governing committal.
De Silva v Dindial’s Hardware Ltd
Question before the Court
Whether a seller could terminate a land-sale contract without first making time of the essence.
Why it matters
A focused commercial-property appeal about contractual termination and delayed completion.
National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Ltd v Kelshall as liquidator
Question before the Court
Whether ‘take or pay’ terms from expired gas contracts were incorporated into a later supply agreement and whether the creditor proved that the gas was available and tendered for delivery.
Why it matters
A substantial contractual and insolvency appeal concerning incorporation of terms, proof of debt and the evidential burden in a liquidation.
