MJM’s Jessica Kemmenoe has been recognized as a “Rising Star” in the Fall issue of The Bermudian magazine. The feature is called Rising Stars: Young, ambitious and quickly working their way to the top, meet this year's crop of twenty-somethings on the fast track. A rising star is a young person (under 30) who is doing an outstanding job in their industry. They have youth and energy on their side, but this individual is also smart and dedicated and has the qualities that make you sure they are going to make it to the top one day!

Bermuda Press (Holdings) Ltd. (“BPHL”), the parent company for the local daily newspaper The Royal Gazette, commenced proceedings against the Registrar of the Supreme Court (the “Registrar”) following the Registrar’s refusal of BPHL’s application to obtain copies of Affidavits and Exhibits filed in a case pending in the Supreme Court. The case involved a dispute between Allied Development Partners and the Government of Bermuda with reference to the Hamilton Waterfront. BPHL sought to challenge the accepted legal view that documentation being used in ongoing legal proceedings is not open to public inspection, even if the parties to the proceedings do not oppose access to the documentation.
