Topic: closed material procedure

Closed-door trials - where the public, media and even the complainant in the case are excluded so government can show secret evidence - could soon be permissible in the Cayman Islands.

Lawyers for a gang killer deemed too dangerous to be held in Cayman claimed a "victory for open justice" on Friday after the highest court in the Overseas Territories ruled that officials cannot rely on secret evidence to justify his transfer to a maximum security prison in the UK.

An unprecedented behind closed doors court hearing could be held to decide the fates of two Caymanian killers deported to the UK to serve their life sentences.
