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.
