The UK’s highest appellate court, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, has ruled in favour of Britannia Villas homeowners, confirming their long-disputed right to access recreational facilities at the former Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman resort.

The UK Privy Council will hear an appeal next week to determine the outcome of a long-running dispute over whether property owners at Britannia have the right to use a beach club and golf course facilities.

The Dart group is required to provide beach club and golf course access to neighbouring property owners as a condition of its 2016 purchase of a suite of properties including the old Hyatt hotel, the Grand Court has ruled.

But it is undeniable that dog owners have a legal and societal responsibility to look after their pets, and to make sure they are not a public nuisance or potential threat.

Property owners in the Britannia Estates development say they plan to “vigorously defend” their rights to use golf and beach facilities at properties now owned by the Dart group.
