Dispute Resolution

About

Provided by Babbé LLP

Our dispute resolution practice is widely recognised for the provision of pragmatic and commercially driven solutions. We have a consistent track record of acting on leading and landmark cases in Guernsey.

From mediation to trial advocacy, we seek to resolve matters quickly and effectively, and provide advice to clients considering and protecting their best interests and privacy.

Our team works across the full range of commercial activity, but with a particular focus on finance-related matters and is widely acknowledged for its expertise in fields including contentious trust litigation, investment fund litigation, commercial fraud, insolvency, and professional indemnity.

Babbé took the lead role in the defence of the Carlyle Capital Corporation litigation. The six-month trial (biggest ever claim and trial in Guernsey) led to the dismissal of all 187 claims.  We successfully acted for the executive director defendants. The liquidators of CCC appealed the Royal Court judgment to the Guernsey Court of Appeal.  In a  recent judgment, that Court again dismissed all claims against the directors.  Babbé has again acted for the successful executive directors in Carlyle.

Act for the English High Court appointed receivers of the Libyan Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Libya,  involving complex matters of trust and international sanctions law.  Also acts for the administrators of BSG Recourses Limited, the largest administration in Guernsey legal history.
