Call for investigation as Jersey lawyers are accused of ‘cartel’-style behaviour

@ Sameer: As I understood it (and as you wrote it), you were originally questioning whether Jersey was an IFC at all, hence my response. For what it’s worth, Jersey also features highly in the Global Financial Centres Index, and is well-placed in The Banker magazine’s IFC rankings. Jersey very obviously is an IFC, whatever your redundant view of cows and expensive estates might be (is Singapore any less an IFC because it has pink dolphins?). If your comment was a sneer at significance in the global markets, notwithstanding what might be said to counter that view, given that Singapore and Hong Kong respectively have populations 55 and 78 times as big as Jersey’s, it’s a rather daft comparison don’t you think?
