In this article Alex Potts KC and Jonathon Milne of Conyers argue in favour of revisiting the subject of pre-trial discovery by deposition in the courts of the Cayman Islands.

In the past three years, there have been radical and profound changes made to the conduct of commercial litigation in both London and in the Cayman Islands.
