The Court of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court recently ruled on whether investors in a hedge fund, who had given notice of redemption but who had not been paid in full at the time the fund went into liquidation, have priority in the liquidation over fund investors who had not redeemed their shares prior to the liquidation.  This article recounts the relevant facts of the case and summarizes the Court’s decision and reasoning.  For a discussion of the trial court’s decision, see “British Virgin Islands High Court Issues Landmark Decision Affecting the Distribution Rights of Redeemed Versus Continuing Investors in a Liquidating Hedge Fund,” Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 5, No. 47 (Dec. 13, 2012).
