What it requires
- Section 30 of the United Kingdom's Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 extends to the Cayman Islands: you may deal fairly with a work for criticism or review, or for reporting current events, without infringing copyright, provided you give a sufficient acknowledgement.
- You need not acknowledge the source when reporting current events by sound recording, film or broadcast where doing so would be impracticable.
- You may use a quotation from a work that has been made available to the public, for criticism, review or otherwise, provided it is no longer than the specific purpose requires and is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.

What this law does
Section 30 of the United Kingdom's Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 is not among the provisions the Copyright (Cayman Islands) Order 2015's Schedule excludes or modifies, so it extends to the Cayman Islands as part of Part 1's general extension.
Fair dealing with a work for criticism or review, or for reporting current events, does not infringe copyright provided it is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement, except that no acknowledgement is required for reporting current events by sound recording, film or broadcast where this would be impracticable.
A separate quotation exception permits using a quotation from a work that has been made available to the public, for criticism, review or otherwise, provided the quotation is no longer than the specific purpose requires and is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.
