There is no such thing in the Bahamas as the British Court of Appeals. They don't use the British for appeals. All Appeals are handled in the Bahamas it never goes beyond that or outside the Bahamas.
They do use British law as guide but that is it. The Common Wealth of the Bahamas is a independent country. They are no longer under British rule.
That isn't what they said the other day. They specifically stated this case could eventually go all the way to England for settlement.
Bahamas Judiciary Shamed

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.
