Christie's people were too damned excited to even try to get it right. And this is our AG and Minion, who together control the legal system in this country. This will truly make us out to be jackasses, not thinking before leaping, when it all gets to the Privy Council. If only they could feel shame and embarrassment. .

Comrade Izmirlian, just you keep issuing such misguided looking pick a fight with da prime minister, statements and the next time you do, don't be too surprised to find ya self, writing your next statement under lights from lamps fueled by kerosene - that is - unless you got's ways pay $26 million quick cash owing to pay BEC.
And da kerosene man's, don't give no credit.
No lights equates to no more need beg taxpayers, be paying da payroll of "your" citizens.
All I can say is, Izmirlian is so damn lucky, the other former law partner got defeated.

Why are Bahamians so afraid to express themselves?
This man is not afraid, let him speak and learn from his example. It seems that Bahamians love to hide behind a little colonial rock and tremble from the big boss. We have to grow out of this fear; it's nothing to be proud of.

I think Sarkis is winning the current public relations battle and I am not surprised he has the courage to speak his mind; after all he had the courage to embark on the biggest development project ever attempted in The Bahamas: then he had the courage to seek satisfaction in the courts in the USA and UK when his project ground to a halt. His lawsuit in the UK is tantamount to suing the Chinese Government!

His courage in fighting for what is rightfully his, should serve as an inspiration to all Bahamians, who must speak up and stand up and make sure that justice is done!

TR: Quite incredibly, the U.S. court issued an order yesterday that BEC cannot turn off the power or demand any payments from Baha Mar based on the bankruptcy filing. That is a direct attack by the U.S. court on the sovereignty of the Bahamas. I am surprised no local media has reported that.

Please provide a link to the order you mentioned.

Here goes this obsessed hack @John again

In all fairness, Justice Winder should have ordered that all costs of today's hearing be borne by the Christie-led PLP government for having put forward the names of PwC partners to act as provisional liquidators who could not serve in such capacity because they have a fundamental conflict of interest. It's amazing that the PwC partners concerned had apparently attested in an earlier sworn affidavit to having conducted an independence check within their global organization in order to verify their independence, only to have to later acknowledge by letter (presumably on being called out by others) that they are in fact not independent. Baha Mar should not find itself saddled with the costs of today's hearing no matter what the eventual outcome of the hearing to appoint provisional liquidators. Today was nothing but a typical useless and costly day before the Bahamas Supreme Court, one of many that will lie ahead if the Christie-led PLP government does not come to its senses and withdraw its foolish and vindictive petition for the liquidation of Baha Mar.

It certainly does seem that Maynard-Gibson (aka the Wicked Witch), Gomez (aka the Minion) and their Chinese backers wanted to have the deck stacked against Baha Mar from the very outset by the appointment of provisional liquidators partial to their devious interests and with an apparent antagonistic attitude towards Sarkis Izmirlian. All of this nonsense and foolishness on the part of our government, motivated by small vindictive and malicious minds, really must stop!

Amateur Hour in The Bahamas.....while the World watches!

lol

European countries have no problem acknowledging US bankruptcy proceedings. Our government is just showing its gigantic inferiority complex.

Unfortunately Government rushed into their court action without thinking it through ; if cooler heads had prevailed they could have found a way to accommodate Baha Mar's Chapter 11 protection, in a spirit of co-operation and with the best interests of Bahamians in mind. By staying above the fray in a truly Statesmanlike manner they could have helped get the project back on track and would have looked good in the process.
