Any action by any judiciary or a leading lawyer anywhere that upholds the right to prevent illegal hacking of private communications, such as e mails related to normal commercial and environmental matters (I.e. non terrorism), is to be warmly applauded.
Hopefully this will provide an excellent opportunity to develop a cutting edge privacy law in the Bahamas to help attract leading businessmen and entrepreneurs to the Bahamas.
If that could go hand in hand with developing cutting edge Banking legislation, and perhaps even some double tax treaties in areas related to Global Security and Environmental matters at least, we could help start drive the Bahamas to be a regional powerhouse....
This case seems to run and run and run. And every time the CIBC bank hopes the Spicers will just give up and go away more and more evidence comes out embarrassing the bank...
Why would a bank not just admit its mistakes (4 x 4 = 12 etc.) and make reparations to its long standing customer, instead of engaging in what even the press now reports as a respected and conservative lawyer is now advising our Supreme Court is a "Cover up", before the bank's own former employee steps forward and basically appears to be saying - yup the bank is not telling the truth.
The Spicer case is clearly becoming, or revealing, a bigger scandal.
It is absolutely self evident fcib cibc made whopping mistakes, and then may have lied about it under oath to the Supreme Court.
Isn't that a serious thing to do?
As Mr. Gomez makes clear, it is equally absolutely right that no Canadian customer would be treated like this for the best part of a decade - as Mr. Spicer appears to have been - without plaintiff bar lawyers screaming cover up and demanding punitive damages.
But with no plaintiffs bar to speak of in the Bahamas, no wonder the Spicer case, with its egregious issues, has attracted the interest of a QC and former senior Cabinet Minister, several law firms working on it without fees, and many others, looking to explore how these types of mistakes and cover ups exposed in The Spicer case link to the wider issue of abusive banking practices in the Bahamas which would likely never be inflicted on Canadian customers in Canada.
Any decent banker will agree with you. And I know there are many fine senior people in Canada who will, I trust, hear what you have so bravely said. And then take the necessary steps to reverse all of this. A more prosperous Bahamian society can only be good for the banks, but they have to change to deliver policies that help create that rather than thwart it.
PM & local MP's must support an "Out island Police Task Force" to seriously clamp down and impose much stiffer penalties on such crime, especially crime that includes home invasion & boat theft. It will risk killing local businesses that depend on 2nd home owners otherwise.
Good. How a country chooses to raise taxation revenue is its own business. Notable also that Ireland and now UK are almost seen as tax havens for corporations, especially when US corporation tax remains at 40%.
The PM says "All of these things we do and many times we have to sit and watch jurisdictions that are imposing these standards on us. They don’t have the same strict adherence to these things that they are asking us to have.”
