Do pray tell: how is any ruling in the USA going to affect any property outside the USA, which, last time I checked, we still are.
It would have to be subject of a completely different action in Bahamian Courts.
For your information, any lawsuit can be filed by anyone for anything in a USA court. They do not enter into its merits till pre trial motions. Have you not watched The Good Wife?

Because if he wins a suit in USA he immediately gets property in the Bahamas????

I see you have given up pretending we are a separate country and jurisdiction.

From the comments above, one can see that no one here has understood a thing (much like Sarkis himself).

First, the suit is against CCA and has nothing to do with the Bahamas, so there will be no impact on the Bahamas whatsoever, reputationally or in any other way, unless they prove collusion with the Christie government, which he is not even alleging in the suit.

Second, he is seeking damages, not the return of the project. So nothing will change for Baha Mar.

Third...and this is the funniest: he is suing a 100% Chinese state owned company with minimal assets in the USA, in the USA. Even if he wins (highly unlikely), who is going to make the Chinese pay? Exactly, no one.

Pointless.

Bahamian can own and manage hotels. It's just that we are too smart to sink money into a total hole with no hope of ever seeing it again.
Do the numbers.

Simple: because there are no profits. Every hotel here goes bankrupt.

Or worked, full stop.

If the choice is between illegals and government officials breaking the Law and the Constitution, I will take the illegals. Lesser evil by far.

What is so hard about arresting them and taking them to Court? Who says Courts have to give them bail? Write new laws, have speedy trials and send them back.

But no, we always do things ass about face. It's almost as we were a society of autistic teenagers.

No, I want government officials paid by my taxes to follow the Constitution as interpreted by the Courts. Whose job it is. Not mine, not yours, not anybody else's. In a normal country no one gives a rat's arse about your or my opinion. The Courts decide. End of story.
Let's build a civilized country as opposed to this...I will refrain from writing what I really think this is.
If you don;t like the law, write to your MP and get it changed.

“Why would we change the way we do things?"

Because you swore to uphold the Constitution, you moron. That is why. The Court tells you what the Constitution says and you obey without question, you ignorant ass.
