Caribbean Land Law
About Me
Hi, I'm Professor Simon Cooper.
My Goal
I came to the Cayman Islands 31 years ago to teach Caymanian students on the law degree and the Bar course. As soon as I settled in, I saw that there was also an opportunity to apply my specialist knowledge - I could help to improve property law in the Cayman Islands and the British Overseas Territories.
I set myself the goal of contributing to better property law and better property administration.
I planned three routes to pursue this goal of better property law and better property administration:
1 - disseminating technical analysis and promoting best practice in the legal community (influencing practice)
2 - proposing and supporting beneficial changes to the law (law reform) and helping to shape improvements in government processes for the administration of property (policy development)
3 - aiding decision-making in public bodies and supporting dispute resolution (advice and guidance)
