Bahamas Judiciary Shamed
by admin on Mon Dec 18, 2006 10:09 am

The Judicial Committee of The Privy Council has come to Nassau to hear cases for the first time ever outside of the United Kingdom.

The Committee, which is the court of final appeal for Commonwealth countries that retain it, overseas territories of the United Kingdom and Crown dependencies.

The learned justices will sit for five days hearing two days of criminal cases, two days of civil matters and one day of petitions. The four cases set down for hearing by the five Lords of Appeal are all Bahamian matters.

The committee, which normally sits in the Privy Council Chamber in Downing Street in London, England, will sit at the Court of Appeal at Claughton House in Charlotte and Shirley Streets.

The justices have come to town to clear up a few important cases which are threatened by the judicial corruption so prevelant in Bahamian courts.

The crooked rats at the Bar Association of the Bahamas act like this event is an honour to our nation. Truthfully, it is quite a shame that the Privy Council feels it necessary to stem judicial corruption in the Bahamas by hearing cases before they are referred to England, which is usually a waste of time and only necessary because one can't get an unbiased fair trial in the corrupt courts of The Bahamas.

Great find - note the criticism of the Bahamian Bar Association, whose president is of course, James Munroe.

Cited in the referenced news article in the blog:

are Callenders, Ferguson and John Wilson attorneys.

You will notice that the 'bad guys' are the same here as in the ANS saga.

Coffee up!

The Bahamas obviously is a cesspool of corruption - according to their own residents/citizens.

It would be appropriate for Americans who think Daniel was murdered - to boycott the islands. Demand that cruise ships not stop there and don't fly there for vacations.

Wonder what percentage of their GNP is tourism? Anyone?
