As was so succinctly stated by Fred Smith, Attorney for Bimini Blue Coalition, Genting and contractors have violated the law and simply tried to bulldoze the residents of Bimini to get their pockets lined. See:
"What this signals to the government and the developers is that people in the Family Islands still have rights and that you should not ride roughshod over their rights. This was a theme echoed in the Wilson City power plant case, in the Guana Cay case and many others. The failure of central government to respect local rights, to preserve a culture, a society, a way of life is a continuing problem that this ruling speaks to.”
“Before you do anything, consult with the stakeholders. This is embedded statutorily in the Subdivision Act, requiring public hearings in advance notice so those affected would have the opportunity to discuss their views.”
