1. NEVIS ISLAND ADMINISTRATION (CROWN PROCEEDINGS) ACT, 2023
By this New Act, the Nevis Island Administration, a legal body established by the Constitution, now has the explicit legislative power to sue and be sued in its own name. The NIA has sued and been sued since 1983, but the court recently
ruled that there was no legislative authority to support that long standing practice. All documents required to be served on the NIA for the purpose of any civil proceedings against the NIA shall be served on the Legal Department of the Office of the Premier.
