    9 February 2026Saint Lucia

    Judgment of the High Court of Justice of Saint Lucia in the case SLUHCV2024/0132 dated 9 February 2026

    High Court of Justice of Saint Lucia (Civil Division)

    Case no.
    SLUHCV2024/0132
    Decision summary
    The court granted First Caribbean International Bank (Barbados) Ltd's application disputing jurisdiction and struck out the Scarboroughs' claim against the Bank. It held that the claim disclosed no cause of action and was an abuse of process because substantially the same complaint had been pursued in the 2015 application and should have been raised in the winding-up proceedings; costs were reserved for the next hearing.
