Judgement reserved on Barclay twins action
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After ten hours of complex legal argument, Guernsey's Bailiff, Sir Graham Dorey, has decided to reserve his judgement on whether or not the Crown can become a defendant in an action brought by the Barclay twins.
The multi-millionaire brothers, who have just moved into a pounds 40m castle on Brecqhou, are seeking to remove their tiny Channel Island from the jurisdiction of neighbouring Sark - and its feudal inheritance laws. Sir Graham's decision is expected later this week. Philip Jeune
