There is one nettlesome complaint which keeps surfacing from Barbadians at home or abroad.

There is one nettlesome complaint which keeps surfacing from Barbadians at home or abroad. It is always about lawyers wantonly violating standards of conduct as perceived in the court of public opinion and the ‘system’ repeatedly fail to redress.

These lawyers reallocate client’s monies, delay simple transactions to the detriment of clients financially, emotionally, illegally and otherwise. The result is that the reputation of the profession has been injured.

To heap on the issue for complainants is the inability of the Barbados Bar Association (BBA) and the Disciplinary Committee (DC) to discharge its mandate to satisfactorily treat with complaints submitted by general public.

The purpose of this update is to invite members of the public – through a simple process – to highlight matters submitted to the BBA or DC. In turn the blogmaster will track and highlight submissions in this medium and other social media platforms to ensure tension is exerted. The expectation is that parties named will see the benefit of resolving matters and be true to their moral and legal mandates.

This is a pilot project. Response from the public will determine next steps.

The blogmaster gives credit to PUDRYR for his input which led to the creation of this initiative.

    Came across this recently

    https://barbadostoday.bb/2019/04/04/pm-constitutional-amendments-important-to-barbados-progress/

    “She spoke specifically to the delays in judgments which have plagued the judicial system for several years, in introducing a new provision under which judges can be dismissed from the Bench if they take more than six months to deliver a decision on any matter that comes before them. She outlined once again the idea that “justice delayed is justice denied”.

    “The Crown is at risk for damages because the right to due process is not delivered. There are too many people in the criminal and civil realm waiting for eight to ten years for a judgment, and in personal injury cases people cannot move forward because the money is tied up.”

    While in agreement with the new provision on the grounds for the removal of judges, Leader of the Opposition, Bishop Joseph Atherley, said the judges will need more administrative staff to help them make decisions in a more efficient fashion. “You cannot tell someone to do a job in six months when they don’t have the support they need to do their jobs properly. The integration of technology will also become an issue where this is concerned.”

    Just a stupid question but if the constitution is amended to allow to judges to be removed for delay who will write their decisions when they get removed?

    @David, can we highlight the manipulation of lawyers in access cases who abuse the court system just to get another payday from Legal Aid. Many cases languish in the system for years which mediation can solve.

    First of all Honourable Blogmaster, you are to be commended for the effort.

    It is noted that, unlike others of your articles which arise from contributions and contributors on your blog, not a single word of “credit” is as ribbed to Piece uh de Rock Yeah Right for this Jotform

    The issue here that you have alluded to with your comment and I quote is

    “…This is a pilot project. Response from the public will determine next steps…”

    There was and is no need to say this at all Honourable Blogmaster

    And I will Cite the reasons.

    The viewing public WHILE THEY ARE CAPTIVATED BY THE CONCEPT, as would any sensible person, ARE UNSURE OF ITS BONAFIDES.

    Let me explain.

    I Piece, though the suggester, cannot become the Keeper of these Records, because I am Delusional

    But equally so, NEITHER CAN YOU!

    And that is not only because, of late your bonafides have been questioned.

    No, it’s a question of what you said “WHAT NEXT??”

    And this is why you nor I were never supposed to RUN THE ONLINE OMBUDSMAN but an academic like The Luminary Jeff Cumberbatch!!!

    Let me share a little more of the full concept so you understand 12 years of its reasoning.

    The Average Man, and Woman, in Barbados and those countries that interact with the legal fraternity of Barbados HAS/HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM,

    Resultedly simultaneous to the Establishment of the Online Ombudsman, there needs to be an equal reposing of Confidence IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MATTER!!

    You and others have not thought this through, I have, I even went to Norway with this but that is enough on the distance the concept has travelled

    What I want you specificall to understand is that our hands David “have too much blood on them” for us to be allowed to build/host the Tabernacle of the Online Ombudsman

    Even now you still have the 2 Veoma Ali Articles up though Veoma is Dead, no sireeee, we are tainted like Grenville is tainted meat.

    But we, David BU, are the messengers, we chating the course for the promised Land but we ent going set foot there, because we are not worthy

    Here is what I humbly suggest that you use the form to do.

    Ask visitors to the site to fill it out with imagined issues.

    Use the validation to limit the contents and then create your reports based on the 10 points that you and Theophillus Gazerts composed last week in your other Blog

    And then append that reports here!

    Show the viewers to BU what this simple form would do to ENFORCE ATTORNEY COMPLIANCE DAVID!

    Once you have done this, then you and I and others (who have been courted) see it at work WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS BEEN SHOWN.

    AND WHAT WILL BE!!!

    Arent you tired talking David of BU?

    Arent you tired of rehashing the same old articles every two years?

    Let Us Change This Equation sir.

    We have the Grey Brain Matter to Make the Change as Craftsmen of our Fate.

    But then again maybe this is a Bridge Too Far for you too and you are directed by A POWER BEHIND YOUR THRONE?

    I must ask Mr. Vincent Codrington about this, maybe he will be able to say why you were unable to give any credit to the ole man for THE JOTFORM?

    But then again, if Mugabe can do that, why cant you? Or anyone else?

    Our Role is NOT TO MANAGE THIS DAVID, IT IS TO FACILITATE…

    Will repeat this for your benefit. This is a pilot effort. You and others are free to make suggestions. There is no need to make an issue of not giving you credit highlighting the jotform or tension you have given to such an approach. Be assured it was not deliberate and will be rectified.

    Postscript: well wishers send private notes to the blogmaster with suggestions almost every week to share observations.

    “The Online Ombudsman

    Remember this?

    We CANNOT CARRY THIS BACK INTO THE SAME OLD SAME OLD sewer of thought and create a commercial activity like a credit bureau ELSE IT DIES IN UTERO.

    It has to reside within “a credible matrix” and have an enabler, or enablers, like a Jeff Cumberbatch, and a Senator Caswell Franklyn, and a Leighton Trotman.

    anything else is an abortion of the concept David of BU

    you are rushing something which must be planned carefully.

    I suggest this David of BU.

    Ask BU users to populate the form with mock data PURPOSELY David of BU

    And in two weeks generate a report for them to see what the Online Ombudsman is capable of.

    Ask them to share the link David of BU!! Ask them to share it with people David

    I will try and do a Stoopid Cartoon to give an idea of what the Concept is (tomorrow is tight, I am here preparing for a session so I cant do it before then…)

    This is what “Civic Participatory Methodology” is – you are validating Barbados Underground in this space AFTER MUCH ADO, as a major activist for positive change, you are a de facto Third Party Movement activist.

    but I, with my delusional self, have been here years ago.

    Get these three men on board David of BU as the faces of Transparency and Accountability within that 2 week time frame.

    listen to the ole man David of BU, “i am not Gandalf the Gray, i am Gandalf the White”

    Pause, rethink, deploy.

    You need to understand the power of this Concept and What it Will Do!

    Nurture it slowly, dont kill it!

    it is a nation that is going to benefit from it, this has regional implications.

    “The Barbados Government and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) have a US$12.5 million loan agreement to finance its Administration of Justice Program…” A dated item but there are things that exist that…

    Jeff Cumberbatch and the University of the West Indies have the credibility required for this.

    He also has the students who can be coopted in what is a Good Governance project David of BU

    when I told you months ago that I had a proposal, you shifted me, and that is understood David of BU.

    you dont understand where I am coming from regarding the country that has abandoned me, but that is okay David of BU

    you dont need to, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WATCH MY DELIVERABLES!!

    WHEN WHAT I SHOW WORKS, then you have your evidence of whether I wish to undermine the corrupt in Barbados or undermine the economy.

    if treason and high treason is the reward for pursuing the former, and running such men and women from office, then I am guilty of treason

    but if all I want is to disband the agents of despotism and support the latter, then history will commend us few who use our skills only fight for that objective.

    or so one would fool oneself to believe that is what we do at these strange hours of the night…

    We may not have the luxury of taking baby steps, I’m afraid and a baby after 52 years of independence at 2019 best be subjected to euthanasia to ease this suffering we are being subjected to

    I was told to check BU. I said what for? David has started something that if it TAKES OFF will place a tremendous amount of pressure on the law fraternity of Barbados. I came here and saw something fresh, something new, and a move, hopefully, the real David, that more or less proves he is still serious about the BU motto and the purpose behind the blog. I am surprised and yet not surprised. The real David would do something like this. The BLP ass kissing David is all about the toeing the line with the Rogue-Works administration. Be that as it may, this David must be commended for lighting a flame under the wicked regime that practices law for themselves.. BU will now become the target of that nasty establishment. I hope the real David knows that he will be supported in this venture. Good solid contribution and a warranted move. I salute you.

    The following two comments posted by Grenville Phillips, leader of Solutions Barbados, to another blog. Grenville please join the fight on this matter.

    Hi David:

    You have identified the root cause of the problem – lawyers’ fees are legislated.

    For your information, the FTC tried to address this in 2004 to encourage competition among lawyers to benefit the public. Something seemed to have spooked them, so they abandoned this effort entirely and directed their resources against all other professions. In 2007, they intimidated all professions except lawyers to abandon a minimum scale of fees.

    Hi David:

    I attended the presentation of that follow-up report in 2007. However, the FTC have been unsuccessful in addressing lawyers’ fees for at least the past 15 years (since 2004). Unless there is a significant change in management, we should not expect a change of this issue.

    Here is narrative fo a proposed Visual story board for the Pilot

    It will be 49 to 56 seconds

    I used your language/narrative from the blog above to arrive at the proposed visual board.

    “P” stands for Pane.

    P1. Barbadians at home or abroad

    complain about lawyers using and abusing their monies & property

    P2. Many lawyers

    “reallocate” client’s monies, by delaying transactions

    reallocate means teif

    P3. & what makes it worse is that people have little recourse

    Because when they go to the Barbados Bar Association (BBA) and the Disciplinary Committee

    They get unfaired …

    P4. Enter the Online Ombudsman

    This Service is GATEWAY where members of the public – will submit matters that they have or will submit to the BBA or DC.

    P5. This Pilot proposed a New Way by which Bajans can track their submissions

    & ensure pressure is exerted

    on these agencies to do their jobs

    P6. We believe that this Gateway

    wiil aid bajans in resolving matters that are currently

    LEFT DANGLING…

    P7. This is just a pilot project.

    Response from the public will determine IF BAJANS WANT TO ADVANCE THIS

    OR WANT US TO STOP

    I would have done it previously but I only have my phone and iPad. Now looks like I’m back on Wednesday and not Tuesday

    Freedom Crier or Sand Devil as I call her, is always on about capitalism.

    Let me show you why Grenville Phillips ‘ strategy will never work!

    Donna says ” will a snake cut off it’s own head?” NO IT WILL NOT

    BUT, and here is where Freedom Crier ‘s capitalist chant, and Donna’s wisdom, congeal positively if only this once (and that is “an oxymoron of personalities” for you)

    This Online Ombudsman will list all the lawyers, the performing ones and the non performing ones AND THEIR RATES.

    And the referrals, commendations, performances and non performances WILL CREATE WHAT THE FTC, Grenville the talker, AND ALL THE REST, COULD NOT DO FOR 17 years!!!

    Push it David of BU to the point where you cannot got any further, SOMEONE WILL COME TO TAKE IT FROM YOU.

    SOMEONE CALLED BAJANS CITIZENS

    Ask Jeff to create the structure based on a cooperative and set up the assets of the structure under a foundation

    Before I say anything else, get feedback from the Dean, but suffice it to say, there is a pathway.

    Hosting the initiative for a 3 month period cant hurt David of BU and it is at a “non tainted” site at Jotfiles let the organism grow.

    De ole man would “help” with my delusional self.

    All you need to do is post the questions to Jeff and Caswell here on BU and Leighton as well (he is near to retirement is he not?)

    All three are trusted men a d even if busy, will only refer people that they trust to carry on in their stead.

    And Jeff can write a constitution for the entity that would remove any offender!

    Are you anticipating the Chief Justice will be unable to reassign the case? Also how often should we anticipate a sitting judge would be sacked?
    Finally, do you disagree with decommissioning a judge for non-performance?

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    How would you suggest a case which has been already heard and is awaiting a decision be reassigned?

    The case would have to be reheard which means the litigants would have to find a whole second set of legal fees to pay their lawyers!!

    Have you thought about what is involved in decommissioning a judge for non-performance means?

    If you are savvy enough, go through the 2016 list of non performing judges (outstanding decisions) you published here!!

    https://barbadosunderground.net/2016/09/19/outstanding-decisions-in-barbados-courts-dont-blame-me/

    https://barbadosunderground.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/2016-outstanding-decisions-august-2016.pdf

    If you use this list to define non-performance then here is a list of Judges who you would have decommissioned in 2016.

    Worrell

    Reifer

    Cornelius

    Roberts

    Chandler …. recently promoted to the Court of Appeal

    Alleyne

    Richards

    Jackson

    Gibson

    Burgess – promoted to the CCJ

    Mason – promoted to GG

    Goodridge

    What you could do to determine non-performance is publish the current list in 2019 and see how many judges were able, over the past 3 years, correct their non-performance in 2016.

    My bet is you will find none!!

    See how many would be left if you decommissioned the judges on the 2016 list you published, allowing the 3 year period as a period for correcting non performance!!

    The entire unholy racket, lawyers, judges, clerks etc making up the court would. it appears, have to be disbanded.

    The list above does not include the retired judges like Greenidge, Williams and Moore who no longer have the opportunity to correct their non performance!!.

    It would appear from the list above that a promotion often follows non-performance.

    Maybe the constitution should be amended to remove the right of a citizen to a speedy trial that way performance is no longer an issue.

    INTERESTING…Bail Act flaw, says attorney

    Flawed, unconstitutional and not thoroughly thought through!

    This is how attorney-at-law Alyvan Babb, is describing Government’s recent changes to the Bail Act, which he said has left him confused.

    Recently Attorney General Dale Marshall announced in Parliament that anyone facing a murder charge would only be considered for bail after they have spent 24 months in custody.

    However, Babb is contending that the changes were not the answer to solving the issues being faced in Barbados as it relates to persons already on bail returning to the streets.

    The attorney said he held the view that the problem was a justice system that does not work.

    “I live in Barbados just like all of you. I am affected by crime just like all of you, and I too would want to see a solution for the issues that we are facing. But tampering with the Bail Act is not the solution,” he said.

    The amended act now reads as follows: “ . . . In any case where a person is charged with murder, treason and high treason or an offence under the Firearms Act which is punishable with imprisonment of ten years or more that such a person shall not be granted bail unless 24 months have passed.”

    “So that’s a two-year sentence based on what, an allegation? In trials and in evidence, there is data from judges which says that a witness may be honest but mistaken. And if you really think about it in your every day life, I am sure that at some stage everyone of you have either touched someone that you found out to be the wrong person, shouted for someone that you found out to be the wrong person, or even spoke to someone that you found out to be the wrong person, and that is a person that was standing right in front of you.

    “So isn’t margin and error greater when the police who weren’t there who is acting on the strength of information, wouldn’t the margin be greater that they may also have the wrong person?

    “And it is for that reason that some countries have totally abolished the death penalty. So how do you tell me that I am charged and I am to be sentenced for two years up front when in fact the evidence after a trial may in fact show that the witness had the wrong person?”

    Babb voiced his concerns about the changes, as he delivered remarks on the topic The Bail Act And The 2019 Amendments, at the Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) Astor B. Watts Lunchtime Lecture Series, held at the Errol Barrow Gallery, DLP Headquarters, George Street, St Michael.

    It was there Babb also indicated that while the fears of society must be taken into consideration, Government still has a responsibility to make correct decisions that do not conflict with the Constitution.

    “Two wrongs don’t make a right. If the two-year sentence passes and a trial has not began, what are you going to do with that five-time offender…except let him go again. So it shows you that the issue is not the Bail Act. The trial of offenders in a reasonable time is the key to solving the problem,” he said.

    The major benefit will be the silencing of the party hacks and apologists because the legal fraternity is well represented in both camps and the complicity is there.

    Reading a job description for a PolOf it interesting to find part of the JD requiring the ability to recruit persons who are persons of influence from such areas as judiciary, military, PEPs and media houses.

    Well I know I ain’t get invite for no amount class or type of finger foods or big mouth drinks can cause me to spill my guts to appease our masters. Field Slaves and House Slaves are still part of the Bajan landscape. #GoatsieSheepleSyndrome

    RE In your case, we would proffer that if empire outsourced the squeezing of your testicles by the special branch, or should local circumstances required it, you will sing like a choir boy.

    I followed one of John’s link back to 2016 and it seems as if the flow of illegal drugs was one of the main topics at that time? Can anyone tell me one concrete action that has been done to stop the flow of guns into the country since 2016?

    I also ran into a comment from Amused. Again, I was impressed by this man’s contribution to the discussions we have here. RIP, fellow blogger, your shoes remain unfilled.

    We need just one patriotic, honest and intelligent lawyer to contribute (even anonymously) on BU and we will all benefit as a nation. With over 1100 legal eagles in Barbados we know you are out there? Unlike others, I don’t want to know your name, contribute anonymously if you want.

    Besides Jeff and Amused, many lawyers used to contribute to BU…but mostly to cover up so they all dont get exposed….seeing that most of them disappeared off the Blog…the covering up thingy did not work out too well…because they had bad intentions.

    Amused, like Jeff, was one of a kind.
