Overview
The Cayman Islands provides a stable and highly regarded legal system based on the British legal system. The Legislative Assembly of the Cayman Islands is elected every four years, and is responsible for approving Cayman Islands statutes. Further, statutes passed by the United Kingdom Parliament and extended by Order in Council to the Cayman Islands are also binding in the Cayman Islands. English common law applies in the Cayman Islands with
persuasive authority.
The Governor of the Cayman Islands is appointed by the Queen every three years and, apart from assenting to statutes and other functions, acts as a liaison between Cayman Islands and the British Government.
