  CONTEMPT

  Camilla de Bourbon des Deux Siciles (Appellant) v Zedra Jersey Trust Corporation Limited and another (Respondents) (Jersey)
  Permission to Appeal application lodged
  Case summary:

  Did the Royal Court have jurisdiction to order that the appellant would be discharged from contempt only on payment of a fine, and subject to a term of imprisonment in the event of default? This appeal arises out of a long-running dispute over a trust (known as the “Grand Trust”), which since 2007 has been governed by Jersey law. The Grand Trust was settled by the appellant’s mother, Madame Crociani, for the benefit of the appellant (then aged 16) and her sister Cristiana Crociani (then aged 14 years). In February 2010, an appointment of assets valued at about US $132 million was made from the Grand Trust into another trust settled by Madame Crociani, and subsequently was transferred to Madame Crociani and the appellant. In 2013, Cristiana Crociani and her children commenced proceedings to have the 2010 appointment set aside and the Grand Trust reconstituted. The appellant was a defendant in those proceedings, along with (amongst others) her mother and the Trust Corporation. It was not alleged against the appellant that she was a party to the breach, which was organised and effected by her mother and the Trust Corporation acting at her mother’s request. Consequently, the appellant was not represented in the proceedings and did not give evidence
