JERSEY Law and Practice Contributed by: Marcus Pallot and Eleanor Davies, Carey Olsen
14.2 Growth Areas Unfair prejudice proceedings are currently enjoying some popularity, with the Royal Court tackling issues of valuation methods and quantum. Shareholder dis- putes are also played out through just and equitable windings-up, and there have been a number of court- ordered creditors’ windings-up since the introduction of a court-ordered, creditor-driven form of creditors’ winding-up (akin to the English creditors’ winding-up). Applications for recognition of foreign administrators or liquidators continue to be popular as Jersey com- panies are frequently involved in the restructuring of larger groups.
In September 2021, legislation came into force to ena- ble all legislation that is displayed on the Jersey Law website as being currently in force, to be the official version of the legislation for citing in court. The courts have recently rolled out a new digital case management system. This has become the default system for the supply of bundles for court hearings and is underpinned by a new Practice Direction (RC 21/01). In practice, hard copy hearing bundles are now the exception rather than the norm.
