On Monday 8th, the hearing of the jurisdictional motion before the Honourable Justice Bryan Shaughnessy of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Nelson Barbados Group Limited v The Country of Barbados and others had to be adjourned because of a convenient last-minute motion for leave to appeal the decision of the Court (that BU posted) whereby the videotapes of the cross-examinations in Barbados and Toronto of the defendants, including our Chief Justice, would NOT be released to counsel, but sealed by the Court. Little Willy was up to his tricks manipulating the system for all he was worth as usual (he stands not the slightest hope in hell on an even playing field) and desperately trying to get his hands on the videos so they can (suitably edited and added to) be posted on Keltruth and BFP with links to YouTube, of course.
The matter of leave was heard and decided by Shaughnessy J. and today Fergusson J. will sit to decide if leave to appeal ought to be granted.
I am attaching the Ruling of Shaughnessy J. so that BU and its family and readers can be updated on events as they occur in a case that is taking millions of dollars from our foreign exchange and putting it into the pockets of Canadian lawyers and which is being used by Peter Allard/Madge Knox controlled blogs to denigrate Barbados. All I can say is that judging from the decision, this is one seriously pissed-off judge.
I realize that this comes hard on the heels of the Factum of the Defendants, however as the Advocate, the Nation and VOB and CBC seem to think that Barbados being expensed for millions of dollars for a case in which it is sued in Canada, is of no merit and not worth reporting. BU has filled the void of credible and responsible reportage for Barbados. So let us leave the Advocate and Nation et al to do what they do best, school sports reports, and leave the serious stuff that affects our economy and our ability to pay for and maintain those schools – and how we are perceived internationally – to the big boys, like BU.
I will update you as soon as the decision of Fergusson J. is delivered.
