Gazette Office

The Consolidated Index of Laws and Subsidiary Legislation lists laws and their regulations (subsidiary legislation) published in the Cayman Islands, and you can use it to find laws and regulations on this website that have been published since 2008 as supplements in Gazettes or Extraordinary Gazettes.

All laws and regulations are listed alphabetically. After each law and set of regulations, you will see a ‘code’. For example: Grand Court Law (2008 Revision) G13/2008 s4.

This means that the Grand Court Law (2008 Revision) was published in Gazette 13 of 2008 as Supplement 4.

To find the latest Grand Court Law, all you need to do is go to the home page, find Supplements, find 2008 and then find Gazette 13, Supplement 4.

The same goes for locating regulations (subsidiary legislation). For example, to find Court Fees Rules (2008 Revision) G12/2008 s3; you will have to go to Supplements 2008 and then look for Gazette 12, Supplement 3.

However, every care has been taken to ensure that it is as accurate as possible. If any errors or omissions appear therein, they should be drawn to the attention of the Law Revision Commissioner, P.O.

You can look in the Consolidated Index of Laws. However, keep in mind that this list is published once a year and might not include the latest publications. Therefore, another way of checking for a law or bill, is to go through the latest Supplements.

All bills and laws are published as supplements to the Cayman Islands Gazette. These are listed in the Consolidated Index of Laws. Hard copies of supplements can be obtained from the Legislative Assembly.

Extraordinary Gazettes are published in cases of special urgency. If you wish to publish a notice outside of the scheduled Gazettes, you can request an Extraordinary Gazette. These are published on Wednesday and Friday only, except on weekends and public holidays. The cost is CI$150 per page, with a minimum fee of CI$600. Fees for Extraordinary Gazettes in excess of four pages will be assessed in multiples of four.
