Hi, From my limited practical experience of working with some dependencies, they are not be under UK law day to day, unless a large (perhaps unfortunate) event/happening arises that means it is then brought into greater effect/fallen back on. Similarly with EU, they may choose to (and do) use EU legislation/policy as guidance/ good practice/evidence, but they are not bound by it.

Most of the British dependencies are not part of the EU. may explain For eg the Isle of Man and Jersey and other Channel Islands are not part of the EU. That may explain the issue you are dealing with.

There are stem cell clinics who were culturing cells that have an injunction against them in the USA by FDA and now they are opening shop in the Cayman Islands. Who if anyone regulates this? Best, Amy
