News Media Invited to Ask Permission to Attend Hyatt Interlocutory Hearing in Chambers

Dear Members of the Media, As you would be aware, the hearing of my Interlocutory Application for an Interim Order suspending the grant of permission to Mr. Mark Maloney’s company pending the full hearing of my Judicial Review application, is scheduled to be held in the Chambers of Justice Randall Worrell at 9:30AM on Tuesday…

The Honourable Mr. Justice Randall Worrell

Dear Members of the Media,

As you would be aware, the hearing of my Interlocutory Application for an Interim Order suspending the grant of permission to Mr. Mark Maloney’s company pending the full hearing of my Judicial Review application, is scheduled to be held in the Chambers of Justice Randall Worrell at 9:30AM on Tuesday 25th April 2017.

Under the Constitution of Barbados, all legal proceedings are to be open to the public unless there is some special reason for excluding members of the public (inclusive of members of the news media). There is no reason why members of the news media should be excluded from the hearing tomorrow. In fact, I would welcome the idea of having members of the media present in the Judge’s Chambers tomorrow morning to hear and report upon the proceedings in this case that has such great public import.

In the circumstances, I would like to suggest that one or more manager (s) of the various media houses approach Justice Worrell for permission for representatives of the news media to attend the hearing in his Chambers tomorrow morning.

    The only useful thing Donville Inniss has said is that he would not serve in a DLP government if Sinckler was prime minister.
    With respect, Sinckler did studies on trade, the economic equivalent to cultural studies. For the also rans.

    Glad to see Adriel Nitwit has big talk for the US, now I want to see the US reeling in the money launderers in Barbados that Adriel Dimwit is covering up for…lol…he knows well enough who the main drug dealers, gunrunners and money launderers are in Barbados and it’s not the poor majority population.

    “Criminal activity in Barbados is immaterial as far as the international community is concerned. Funds which may be laundered in Barbados are miniscule when measured on the scale of international laundering.”

    I never called the Prime Minister liar. I said he disobeyed God and prove himself to be no different than the serpent who deceive Eve. Big Difference.

    Someone should really muzzle Dennis Kellman. The man is such an idiot.

    If you do not support the building of the Hyatt on the taxpayers’ land, you are a terrorist….he declared today.

    The people of Barbados are still waiting to be told and you should know as minister of housing how their lands ended up in Mark Maloney’s hands. How much did he paid for our land?

    Kellman, I can tell you that most Barbadians would deem you and your fellow party members that make up the government the terrorists.

    You dems have destroyed most of all that Barbadians hold dear, you have broken the wills of the people, your lack of governance has destroyed the economy, suffocated the economy resulting in many businesses closing or are on the brink of closing.

    Your lack of governance caused you to impose fees to go to the UWI………..for every parent who cannot afford to see their children achieve their dreams, you are the ones who are the terrorists.

    What a moron!

    The substance of the debate. Even in a city already plastered with “tall” buildings, matters like location, design and impact on character setting are still relevant. Yet we in Barbados supporting Hyatt.

    Did he really say that? Really? The worst sentiment to hear from someone in authority ‘if you are not with us, you are against us’.

    Brings to mind fellows marching in unison with arms held upright.

    @Well Well,

    But he is right when the states , quote ”Barbados is not a world financial centre and, therefore, any larger than usual financial transaction which takes place here will receive immediate attention, both here and abroad. Large-scale launderers know that the place to hide a tree is in the forest. Barbados does not fit that bill. ”unquote.

    Just look at the investment in large countries, such as football teams, large corporations, real estate (very substantial), where is the money derived?

    In fact, the source of the significant overheating of real estate in both Canada and the UK is allegedly foreign investment monies.

    Are we to believe that all of that money is nice and clean?

    Really?

    To be blunt, it can easily be argued that laws to stop the laundering of money, worldwide, are ineffectual and if anything, punish those who are ‘small woods vs forests’.

    But I agree, local illegal activity and laundering is distorting the economy.

    Or holding it up? Which?

    The thing is, the worse the economy gets, the more glaring will be those illegal sources of income, as the ‘real’ businesses fold.

    There seems to be something amiss in St Lucy.Dennis Kellman says those not favouring the building of a stand alone 12 storey building on a narrow strip of beach in the heart of the city of Bridgetown are enemies of the State.Senator Verla DePeiza went a step further and called her fellow Bajans treasonists for daring to support the recall of the PM’s plan to deny Bajans entry into their homeland unless they were willing to be finger printed.
    Kellman goes further and can now be described as a tinpot dictator.He wants to compulsorily acquire privately owned homes to rent or sell to whom he likes.Private ownership of property is a hallowed concept of our form of governance.This idyut is now going the road of Chavez and Maduro.Barbados wake up to presence of these jackasses in parliament and kick their sorry asses out forever.

    Crusoe….we know everything that happens in the US happens on a much larger scale, but here is the slippery slope….all international, cross border banking transactions go through a clearing house……in the US…..there is ALWAYS a US intermediary bank involved, so any money laundering schemes originating out of Barbados, or anywhere else for that matter, can be investigated, monitored, identified….and punished by the US….

    As much as Adriel Nitwit is talking big, he has no control over that.

    Remember Panama Leaks Papers, even those slick dudes got exposed…and they are not small fry like the ones in Bim.

    What Adriel should do is rein in the money launderers etc that he KNOWS exist on the island….stop protecting them, as you said and we all know, they have destroyed the economy and will continue to do so, if not stopped..

    True. They need skilled workers for all these big construction projects, not unemployed unskilled persons who would botch even a chattel house.

    In the photo of Mary Redman, Akanie Macdoweill, and Patrick Frost the missing person is David Commisiong not Mia. If Mia wins next election prediction is Macdoweil lands a big pick not Redman who it’s impossible to satisfy. BU yardfowl backers of Redman and Frost are warned. Redman will carry-on on her same path as under Froon. A female albino white lording it over black sheeple in the year of our Lord 2017 its not 1717.

    Deplorables Redman , Ped Shepherd, Macdougwell, with their loathsome possee have held Barbados ransom for years it got worst under Froon who they simply hate. The refusal of Customs to enter BRA despite orders from their employers. The shocking union demands at CP, the threats for pay to mark exams, the ultimatums for more professional days for tenured workers who already get four months vacation won’t stop under the BLP. The schoolchildren like the unfortunates at Combermere will continue to suffer.

    Cousin commie Commsiong will continue to be the pest to frighten off investment foreign and local at his whim and fancy. Go to the courts obtain injunction after injunction. Hyatt is only the beginning if he’s successful in his nightmare case which stops thousands of poor black city dwellers from obtaining jobs. The revitalization of the economic and social life of B’town wasted because of one individual. You cant make this shite up.

    The economy will be in more trouble under Mia you are warned. Tibbits and Herbert men with money like sheep shite will mouth off but remain do-littles . Well well well.

    How exactly is Sam Lords and Hyatt going to create 1,000’s of jobs for Bajans when both are being constructed of precast and prestressed concrete made by Mr. Malonely’s Priconco in a mechanised factory in Barbados?

    Also how many Bajans will/can find work at Sam Lords when the accommodation housing camp for the Chinese criminals and spies is capable of housing 600 to 800 Chinese workers?

    @ Bullet Train

    I am surprised I forgot about this inept DLP administration’s arrangements with the Chinese relative to the Sam Lord’s Castle redevelopment project.

    Richard Sealy’s comments about thousands of Barbadians being able to find jobs during the construction phase of the old Sam Lord’s Castle property, is a clear CONTRADICTION to what his junior colleague, Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism Irene Sandiford-Garner, disclosed during a Press Conference at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Center, on January 9, 2015.

    According to the Friday, January 9, 2015 edition of Barbados Today, Sandiford-Garner is reported to have explained since the project “is being funded through the Chinese government,” “Barbados had to ‘COMPROMISE’ on the composition of the labour force at a “the ratio of 60:40.”

    And the experience in Bahamas and Jamaica has shown that when independent audits were performed on the Chinese funded projects it was recovered that is the majority of cases Chinese nationals made 80+% of the workforce on the construction site.

    Did not the DLP under Thompson and Stuart aided and abetted by the DLP oversight committee based within the BWU conspire with the DLP sycophants planted in VOB Brasstacks and Tell It Like It Is call in programmes,people like Tony Marshall,Maxine McClean,Steve Blackett,Harry Husbands,David Ellis,Maureen Holder push the closure of the Four Seasons Project because according to them,too few Bajans were hired to work on that project but the Chinese were there in abundance.

    Will it be resurrected? If so , when? If it i.e. “dead, for now anyway”; this implies that it is “not dead, but sleepeth”, like Lazarus?
