I thought their laws prevented them from being forced to take the DNA, that the judge could only 'suggest' it?
That was my understanding also
Maybe this will help... (this is probably how it all went down)
Pinder (a very good Bahamian lawyer) said (word for word the other day)...
The point is the lawyers (Larry's) have to push this, they have to argue that a DNA test is indispensable to the resolution to the case on the merits. Once they press that and push him up in the corner and if he doesn't take the test (have the test done on the baby) then he loses the case because the DNA test would be indispensable. So it depends on the arguments of the lawyers more than upon the judge ordering that someone take a test because a person cannot be forced to do anything.
Then the CTV reporter says.... ok then if he does not take the test (provide the baby for the test) then the presumption is that he is not the father. (fear nothing and have the test done if you are the father - that is how they do things over there - their morals)
Pinder said yes but was cut off by the camera before he could say more.
