On 31 May 2009, the Commission of Inquiry, led by Sir Robin Auld, a former Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales reported to the Governor that it had found "a high probability of systemic corruption in government and the legislature and among public officers in the Turks & Caicos Islands in recent years. It appears, in the main, to have consisted of bribery by overseas developers and other investors of Ministers and/or public officers, so as to secure Crown Land on favourable terms, coupled with government approval for its commercial development." The report recommended investigation "with a view to prosecution" of five former Cabinet ministers (Michael Misick, Floyd Hall, McAllister Hanchell, Jeffrey Hall and Lillian Boyce) and made several recommendations for revisions of the Constitution and TCI laws to prevent a recurrence of corruption and misfeasance in government.
