In Memoriam, Hon. Angus Foster, KC

IT IS with great sadness that Faculty learnt of the passing of Angus Foster KC.

Mr Foster died peacefully at home in Scotland, surrounded by his family, after many years of chronic illness.

After completing a degree in history at Cambridge in 1971, he then read law at the University of Edinburgh, with a desire to practice as an advocate. He devilled to Lord David Hope and was called to the Bar in 1975.

He practised in Scotland until 1981 when he left to work as a litigator in the firm of W.S. Walker in the Cayman Islands. He was appointed Acting Judge of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands in 2007. He took Silk in 2008 and became a permanent Judge of the Grand Court, allocated to the Financial Services Division, in 2009.

Failing health led him to retire and he returned to his spiritual homeland, Scotland, in July 2024, having spent 43 years living in the Cayman Islands.

He passed in early January this year, after spending his last months with his wife, Fiona, four children and four grandchildren.

He was buried in Comrie Cemetery near the family home in Perthshire.
