What a legal mess for Scott, Cheltenham and the Disciplinary Committee. The High Court and Court of Appeal.

Alrick Scott- Attorney at Law

Alrick Scott SC, attorney at law for Sir Richard Johnny Cheltenham who has sued the Disciplinary Committee for judicial review for having called Sir Richard is now a member of the same Disciplinary Committee? 

How can he be suing the Disciplinary Committee in suit CV 248 of 2023 representing Cheltenham who has been called before the committee and at the same time be one of the seven lawyers hearing complaints against Cheltenham.  He appeared for Cheltenham before the committee and argued by letter and in person against the call of Cheltenham.

Aren’t there complaints at the said committee against Scott as well? What a mockery This is the same Scott that went on the bench to act as a judge and is suspected of tampering with the same case file, from which exhibits were removed.

Ms. Rita Evans, Attorney-at-Law (Chairperson)

Ms. Liesel Weeks, Attorney-at-Law S.C. (Deputy Chairperson)

Mr. Alrick Scott, Attorney-at-Law S.C.

Ms. Duanna Peterson, Attorney-at-Law

Ms. Destinie Simmions Beckeles, Attorney-at-Law

Mr. Omari Drakes, Attorney-at-Law

Mr. Dwight Moseley, Attorney-at-Law

Members of the Disciplinary Committee

Scott represents Cheltenham against the Disciplinary Committee, he sues the Disciplinary Committee on the behalf of Cheltenham for judicial review, he is the attorney who represented Cheltenham’s partner Larry Tatem in the case 770 of 2008. 

Sir Richard Cheltenham

Both Scott and Cheltenham sued Cumberbatch for defamation on the same same information and evidence supported by exhibits cumberbatch used to file the complaint against Cheltenham, and for which Cheltenham has been called to account.  

Scott replaced one of only two members of the Disciplinary who opted not to continue. Chair and vice chair of the Committee remains unchanged in Rita Evans,  Lesele Weekes.

Scott and Ernest Jackman are named in the same complaint with Cheltenham for professional misconduct.

The case of judicial review has been set down for February before Justice Barry Carrington who is also hearing the defamation cases against Cumberbatch.

Meanwhile the court of appeal is set to have case management conference in the appeal case filed by Cumberbatch on January 10th. The appeal is against decisions in the substantive case CV 770 of September 2008.

The proverbial dead fly in the ointment in this case is attorney Alrick Scott. 

It is now very likely the CCJ will be called upon to adjudicate in this whole mess the most senior attorney finds himself In.

    The question: why are questionable choices being selected by peers? Where is the integrity? What goodwill the DC, BBA expect to receive by making questionable decisions? What is the endgame?

    Americans want Trump as president. Barbados wants The Judicial Committee to protect its citizens against dishonest attorneys, be they high profile or not.

    It is the system. It is pregnant with inefficiency cloaked in establishment culture.

    My Quaker ancestor got put in stocks on Christmas Day, 1676.

    He was a mason and dared to work on Christmas Day, a holy day putting up a wall in a burying ground near St. Philip’s Church.

    The JP who ordered him into stocks then became the judge who decided if he would be imprisoned and duly gave evidence to the court, of which he was also the presiding officer.

    My ancestor was duly imprisoned.

    True, true fact!!

    On the 25th of December, the Day called Christmas-day, Herbert Griffith and William Fortescue, standing to inspect some Workmen employed about the Wall of a Burying-place, were observed by William Goodall, a Justice of the Peace, as he passed by; who in much Anger called to those who were with him, saying, Is there no Constable here? Lay hold on these Rogues: Take away the Fellow’s Tools.

    Accordingly the Priest’s Clerk being present, took away the Tools, and detained them from the Owner many Weeks. Herbert Griffith desired the Justice to hear him a few Words, but he, full of Fury, cried out, Drag the old Rogue along; away with them all to the Stocks.

    Some People present said, Sir, pray pity that aged honest Man: But the Justice replied, I care neither for his Age nor his Honesty. Then one Thomas Saunders, a very rude Person, said, Sir, these Quakers will not put their Legs into the Stocks. The Justice replied, Down with ’em, drag them in. Whereupon the said Saunders gave the ancient Man a Blow on the Breast, and struck up his Heels with such Violence, that his Head came first to the Ground; and then he threw down William Fortescue, who falling on a Stone, cut his Elbow that it bled; and then they dragged in William Ashby the Mason, and his Man, and locked them in the Stocks about three Hours.

    After which the said Richard Goodal and Richard Noke made a Mittimus to send them to Goal, directing it from Constable to Constable, with a rude Company to guard them, as if they had been Murderers.

    The Constable to whose Charge they were first committed was very uncivil, and would not suffer the ancient Man to ride his own Horse; but other Constables were more moderate, and the last of them said, They were honest Men, and directed them to go themselves to the Town, and he would send one to meet them there To-morrow, which he did accordingly; and they were committed to the Common Goal, where they remained four Weeks. After which, some Neighbours engaging for their Appearance at the next Quarter Sessions, they were permitted to go Home.

    On the 12th of the First Month following, they appeared at the Sessions, where, by Means of one John Witham, an officious Justice, then Chairman, they were recommitted to Prison, (except the Mason’s Servant, who, being no Quaker, was discharged) where they lay about six Weeks, till the General Sessions on the 24th of the Second Month 1677: at which Time the Governour gave them Liberty upon Promise of appearing at the next General Sessions, which was about the 24th of the Ninth Month following; at which Time they were tried by a Jury, who acquitted Herbert and Fortescue, but found William Ashby, the Mason, guilty of working on that Day, for which he was fined 500lb. of Sugar, and the other two were cleared by Proclamation.

    This so displeased some of the Justices, that they prevailed with the rest to commit them to Prison a third Time, and the Verdict was set aside.

    On the 10th of the Tenth Month they were brought again to Trial on a fresh Indictment; when Justice Goodal himself came off the Bench to give Evidence, and swore that He saw the said Herbert and Fortescue at Work: But when the Foreman of the Jury asked him, Whether they had in their Hands any Tool, either Hammer or Trowel? he was fore’d to explain himself by saying, that as they were overseeing the Work, they were at Work.

    This not satisfying the Jury, they were the second Time acquitted and discharged. This Instance shews the great Partiality with which some of the Justices acted, and how forward they were to exercise their Authority against the Quakers, even beyond what the Laws required of them.

    Seems tres misleading; but this is BU 2023.

    It works like this.

    He will declare a conflict of interest and stay out of meetings of the Disciplinary Committee.

    …. at least, that is what he should do!!

    In the real world if there are matters pending against an individual it means one should do the honorable thing by recusing oneself from selection to a post.

    The talk making the rounds is that Leslie Haynes is lined up to replace Chief Justice Patterson Cheltenham. #pappyshow

    Buzz over chief pick

    Some people are falling off the bench, figuratively speaking, of course, in shock on hearing the news that a certain learned fellow could soon be perched on a ledge from which to give wise counsel to all those seeking judgment.

    No, he will not be coming from Haynesville, Haynes Hill or Crab Hill, but from among those who like to wear the silky stuff and operate in a traditionally blessed and highly favoured profession, despite a growing number of bad apples in recent times.

    Not that people are questioning his knowledge of the subject area or ability to chair proceedings when called to order, but the curious and concerned want to know if any advertisements have, or will, go out for this chief of positions, as has been promised in the past.

    With the incumbent set to ride off into the sunset at the dawn of the new year with a young lass by his side, the word is spreading like wildfire – from no less a person than the sheriff-to-be – that it is practically a fait accompli.

    Eagle-eyed

    A few in the know say this eagledeyed chap – who may have had his eyes on the prize previously but was bumped by another – is already claiming victory and has broken the news to those associated with him that he is leaving and will soon be changing apparel for the crowning moment.

    A few yardfowls – who are never too far away when it comes to such intrigue – were scratching the surface to find out if there were any ties that bind in this situation, whether school, familial or otherwise. Cou Cou will not repeat their speculations to avoid being possibly hauled before judge and jury.

    However, based on the reactions heard so far, the jury is still out on warmly welcoming the replacement. The arguments are strong for and against, and only time will tell if this case will be upheld, or thrown out.

    Last time such a thing was mooted it was quickly nixed because of his association with CLICO.

    Patterson Cheltenham was thus selected.

    Leslie Haynes is tainted by CLICO, same as he was last time.

    If he is tainted by Clico why is he Chairman of the NIS?

    Politicians who are also tainted by CLICO need a front man.

    So, who politician put Leslie Haynes to be the chairman of NIS … and when?

    The minister of labour is Colin Jordan but we know all decisions pass through Big Works.

    No doubt Leslie Haynes is tainted by CLICO ….. and Leroy
    Parris, and Terrence Thornhill, and Anthony Ellis and Woodbine Davis his fellow directors from 2009 of CLICO Holdings (Barbados) Limited.

    All Barbadian lawyers (with a possible maximum three exceptions – pending further investigations) are crooked.

    It is a systemic phenomenon.

    If you happen to be born into a Mafia family, it is VERY unlikely that you will aspire to the priesthood, so once they are ‘called to the Bar’ ..
    …dog dead (or at least their conscience is…)

    Obviously when the Mafia takes over a society, the heads of all the key resources will be allocated to dedicated mafia leaders… with the occasional ‘scaredy cat’ , effeminate lackie, (or compliant female) tossed in for good measure…

    Look carefully at brassbados….
