CHANGES TO THE CAYMAN CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER
The Cayman Islands Constitution (Amendment) Order 2020, which the Privy Council approved on 11th November 2020, came into effect on 3rd December, 2020.
These amendments ensure that the Cayman Islands has the ability to take its own decisions about the key issues affecting our Islands. However, the amendments do not change anything in the fundamental relationship between the Cayman Islands and the United Kingdom.
These amendments combined with the 2009 Constitution, not only guide the Cayman Islands maturing relationship with the United Kingdom but will also be the foundation for our continued prosperity.
