Kingate Global Fund Ltd. (In Liquidation) and Kingate Euro Fund Ltd. (In Liquidation)
Kingate Global Fund Ltd. and Kingate Euro Fund Ltd., incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), invested through Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS). They were liquidated following the exposure of the Madoff Ponzi scheme. The Joint Liquidators sought an order under Section 195 of the Companies Act 1981 to compel PwC Bermuda to produce audit documents related to their work for the funds. PwC resisted, arguing that the Bermuda Court lacked jurisdiction.
