Business court

The announcement reflects a broader investment in the capacity and infrastructure of the BVI's commercial justice system at a time when the disputes arising from the jurisdiction's role as an international financial center are increasingly complex, cross-border, and time-sensitive.

A Commercial Court built around international disputes.

The BVI Commercial Court was established in 2009 and has developed into a specialist forum for commercial disputes.

The court has jurisdiction to hear commercial matters across the nine member jurisdictions of the ECSC, although its work is predominantly BVI-focused.
