All financial jurisdictions must evolve or die. The world is changing swiftly and it is almost essential for anyone who wants to keep up with the times to use digital currencies. Central banks around the world are experimenting with various forms of digital currency and The Bahamas is no exception.

McKinney, Bancroft & Hughes is delighted to announce that our very own Kimberley A. Rolle has been recognized in the 2022 edition of IFLR1000 Women Leaders and is one of only three lawyers from The Bahamas to be named in the guide.

In Ashley Dawson-Damer v Grampian Trust Company Limited & Lyndhurst Limited (the Action), Dawson‑Damer (the Plaintiff ), a discretionary beneficiary of a Bahamian trust, challenged appointments made in 2006 and 2009 on the basis that the trustee made the said appointments without sufficiently considering the  Plaintiff ’s needs, circumstances and interests. The relief sought by the Plaintiff was not a claim for damages but rather the setting aside of the two aforementioned appointments and for the removal of the trustee.
