Overview:

Important concerns and notable court rulings are continuously shaping the appraisal litigation landscape. Key issues that are expected to make a wide range of implications in this area of law include the rising appraisals in the Cayman Islands due to the recent Cayman court decisions under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act.

    • Legal Overview of Section 238
