Cayman Islands Legislation sets foundation for new Unified Border Agency
Allow the Director of CBC to assume the responsibilities, powers, and functions previously vested in the Collector of Customs, as it relates to customs matters of: entry and landing, visas, asylum, deportation and any other applicable border control matters.
Provides for harmonisation in terms of references made to Customs Officers and Immigration Officers as necessary, to allow the delivery of the organisation’s integrated remit regardless of one’s previous appointment as either a customs officer or immigration officer.
Allows for CBC, as the organisation with responsibility for border management, to make decisions in relation to granting or refusing persons entry into the jurisdiction with specified arrangements for the appeal against the decision of a CBC officer as may be necessary.
