Caribbean Court of Justice's video: BBCV2019 004- Russell Crumpler v The Financial Services Commission CLICO Int Life Ins Ltd BIPA Inc

Mr Russell Crumpler is the judicial manager of the Montserrat branch of CLICO Life. Back in 2011, Deloitte Consulting Limited acting through Mr. Patrick Toppin was appointed by the court to act as judicial manager of the Barbados branch of CLICO Life. In 2015, Chandler J approved a restructuring proposal in respect of the division and management of CLICO’s assets. Mr Crumpler having failed in his attempts to obtain disclosure from Mr Toppin regarding the assets and management of CLICO Life, attempted to be added as a party to the judicial management proceedings since he believed it was necessary for him to execute his duties as judicial manager of CLICO Montserrat. Both the High Court and the Court of Appeal disagreed with Mr Crumpler on the basis that Chandler J’s order had “ring-fenced” assets in Barbados for the benefit of the Eastern Caribbean policyholders and there was no danger to those policyholders because of a proposal which was limited to Barbadian policyholders. Mr Crumpler is now seeking leave to appeal those decisions.
