Judicial Committee of the Privy Council

This is the final court of appeal for the Turks and Caicos Islands.

To take an appeal to the Privy Council, the appellant must have been granted leave by the Court of Appeal whose decision is being appealed. In the absence of leave, permission to appeal must be granted by the Privy Council. In some cases, there is an appeal as of right and a slightly different procedure applies.

The Privy Council also has the jurisdiction, under section 85(6) of the Constitution to consider a request of the Governor under s 85(7) of the Constitution to remove a judge or Magistrate from office.

FortisTCI Ltd v Islandcom Telecommunications Ltd (JCPC 41 of 2013) [2014] UKPC 33 (16 October 2014)
Regulatory powers and licensing procedures govern spectrum rights; ISM AMR meters did not require spectrum or carrier licences.
Telecommunications law – spectrum allocation – validity of licence amendments – necessity of statutory procedures for allocation; Spectrum management – ISM bands – exemption from spectrum-licence requirement; Carrier licences – definition of "telecommunications network" – standalone AMR meters not a network; Statutory interpretation – reading licensing provisions in context to avoid irrational results.
