Cayman Islands adopted new 2009 Constitution
The Cayman Islands have adopted the 2009 Constitution, which began a new chapter in the way the jurisdiction is governed. The new Constitution is said to bring more balanced governance in the shape of increased consultation and accountability in the running of Cayman.
After an extensive period of discussion and negotiations, as well as the 1st local Referendum, the new Cayman Islands Constitution was approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The 2009 Constitution entered into force on November 6, 2009.
Information on the constitutional changes is available on a modernized official website.
