COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Whenever Litigation avoidance strategies such as representation before administrative authorities, tribunals and mediators have been exhausted and the dispute remains unresolved, we put the legal machinery in action. The Practice and procedures of the Courts in the Commonwealth of Dominica and other Caribbean countries generally follows the principles of law as applied in the English Courts.

Also, in that connection, it must be noted, that cases under the Canada Companies Act are persuasive authorities and are followed and applied by the Courts of Dominica and the other Caribbean Countries since the Dominican Companies Act and that of the other countries are modeled on the Canadian Companies' Act. Notwithstanding that, Case law and Law texts from other Commonwealth Jurisdictions are also considered. Accordingly, all the usual pre-emptive remedies like the Mareva injunction (freezing a defendant's assets pending disposition of an action); Anton Piller Orders (Permitting the search for and seizure of property and records in fear of them being removed or destroyed) are available; the former in particular being commonly employed.

The High Court sits all year long and the Sessions are presided over by a puisne Judge. The Court of Appeal with a panel of three appellate judges sits annually throughout the Eastern Caribbean Countries. However, matters which require urgent attention are dealt with speedily and expeditiously; the Court not having to wait for the prescribed sessions.

In most cases and obviously where no conflict arises, Emanuel & Isidore will and have accepted instructions in Corporate and Commercial matter from clients Local, Regional and International.
