Colours Caribbean to intervene in historic Case Against Cayman Islands Governor To Dismantle Same-Sex Civil Partnerships

GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS, 29 October 2021:

Following our organisation’s application to act as intervenor in the upcoming hearing on 2–3 December 2021 of Kattina Anglin vs. The Governor Of The Cayman Islands, Hon. Justice Richard Williams permitted the intervention of Colours Caribbean, stating, “… I am satisfied that they do have the expertise which will be of assistance to the Court. Colours Caribbean, likely more than any other group in the Cayman Islands, is aware of the potential consequences for those who interests and rights it seeks to represent and protect. Colours Caribbean has also played an active role in the development of relevant legislation by its contributions at the consultative stages.”

We would like to thank our excellent legal team, Alex Potts QC, partner of Conyers; Caroline Edwards, partner of Travers Smith; and Sarah Hannett QC, of Matrix for bolstering our efforts towards achieving marriage equality for the LGBTQIA+ community by ensuring our involvement in this historic case.
