Restraining the pursuit of foreign proceedings in the British Virgin Islands

The courts of the British Virgin Islands will, in appropriate cases, act to restrain the bringing or continuing of foreign proceedings, or the enforcement of foreign judgments in the BVI or worldwide, where the claimant in the foreign proceedings is amenable to the BVI court's jurisdiction, and either an injunction is required to protect against the invasion or threat of invasion of a legal or equitable right, or the claimant is guilty of unconscionable conduct. However, any application must be made promptly and before the foreign proceedings are too far advanced.
