LIQUIDATORS for Landsbanki Guernsey have been unsuccessful in a legal challenge attempting to give its depositors priority status for any payouts coming from Iceland.

THE quest for openness and transparency was joined late last week by a new political website that aims to keep the States under scrutiny.

CHIEF Minister Lyndon Trott did not breach the States members’ code of conduct, according to the States Code of Conduct panel.

CHIEF MINISTER Lyndon Trott has drawn attention to the link between a code of conduct complaint against him and the Landsbanki depositors’ action group.

DEPUTIES have been asked whether Lyndon Trott abused his position as chief minister on a trip to Chile where he allegedly used his title when promoting a company of which he is a non-executive director.

CAMPAIGNERS from the Landsbanki Guernsey Depositors Action Group have told deputies that the States has failed properly to explain the depositor compensation scheme to islanders.

COMMERCE AND EMPLOYMENT has no plans to amend Guernsey’s depositor compensation scheme, despite the UK upping the maximum amount claimable on its version to £85,000.

AN APPLICATION to place Landsbanki Guernsey Ltd into compulsory liquidation was granted by the Ordinary Division of the Royal Court yesterday.

CHIEF Minister Lyndon Trott has challenged the Landsbanki Guernsey Depositors Action Group to take a complaint against him further.

THE CHIEF minister should be fighting to help Landsbanki depositors regain their money, according to the Landsbanki Guernsey Depositors Action group.
