The Guernsey Financial Services Commission has noted that the European Court of Human Rights declared inadmissible an application concerning its long-running enforcement matter involving Ian Charles Domaille and Margaret Helen Hannis, which concluded earlier in summer 2026. The Guernsey Court of Appeal had previously found in two regulatory appeal cases that the Commission’s enforcement processes complied with Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Those judgments remain in force following the European Court’s decision, while a separate application for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal judgment to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was unsuccessful.
