This section applies if an attorney-at-law who is not a Caymanian —
is employed by a law firm or an affiliate of a law firm; or
is an in-house counsel,
and does not wish to practise Cayman Islands law but wishes to keep the attorney-at-law's name on the Roll.
An attorney-at-law referred to in subsection (1) may apply, before 31st January in each year, to the Clerk of the Court to keep the attorney-at-law's name on the Roll.
An application under subsection (2) shall —
be made on a form approved for the purpose by the Clerk of the Court;
be accompanied by the prescribed fee; and
be accompanied by evidence that the attorney-at-law does not owe any penalty to the Council.
The application form approved by the Clerk of the Court under subsection (3)(a) shall require the attorney-at-law to —
specify the attorney-at-law's current residential or business address and if the attorney-at-law is with a law firm or its affiliate, the name and address of the law firm or its affiliate;
specify every jurisdiction, other than the Islands, in which the attorney-at-law is admitted to practise law; and
state whether or not the attorney-at-law is or has been the subject of a disciplinary complaint or any other action that could cause or did cause the attorney-at-law's name to be struck off the roll of a jurisdiction in which the attorney-at-law is or was admitted.
If the Clerk of the Court refuses to keep the name of the attorney-at-law on the Roll, the attorney-at-law may, within thirty days of the refusal, appeal to the Court against the refusal on the grounds that the refusal was unreasonable having regard to all the circumstances.
