Scandals, about which nobody in Bahamas wants to speak
(Read full report at www.injustice.net.tc)
What makes the situation at the Bahamas frustrating, is the fact that the Prime
Minister Perry Christie is himself a lawyer. And under his guidance there
prevails a wide-spread corruption and chaos in the juridical system of his
country. Bahamian businessmen and foreign investors not only accuse him of
fighting very less against corruption, before the background that at the moment
he must be having the best knowledge of the insufficient conditions in the
judicial system, his participation at some places is suggested.
It is correct that Perry Christie has knowledge about the fact, that his lawyer
colleagues delay judicial rulings without moral principles consciously (scandal
# 1), manipulate negotiations for the financial disadvantage of their own client
(scandal # 2), uninhibited increased costs in calculation take place (scandal #
3) as well as scruplesless values of mandates take over (scandal # 4). The often
demanded and necessary reforms of the Bahamian judicial system won't take place in order afew people can profit from it (scandal # 5). Even the highest judge of the Bahamas, Sir Burton
Hall, does not shrink from expressing a likewise criticism.
It is a breaking of law, if the law system of Bahamas does not permit a
plaintiff, his entitled demands in acceptable way with courts (scandal # 6).
There are sufficient serious complaints about attorneys - often also of white
foreigners - that the Bar Association of the Bahamas, the Minister of Justice
or even the Prime Minister are involved (scandal # 7).
“ Lawyers have the license to print money”
Firstly the totally primitive, terse behaviour of the lawyers is criticised
(scandal # 8), which however has extensive negative effects. Would you like to
know lawyers, who do not answer letters and e-mails (scandal # 9) to not keep
discussion dates (scandal # 10) or to do not appear on the court dates (scandal
# 11)? Then the Bahamas are correct. It is generally normal, if one does not continously reach his lawyer on the phone
(scandal #12) and also does not receive an answer from him (scandal # 13). Is it
to not even be called a certain insolence, if shortly before a court date, a
brief discussion with the lawyer cannot take place (scandal #14) and if the
secretary only tersely repeats, that the lawyer” is not in the island”
Foreigners are known to report: The chaos in the judicial system of the Bahamas
can be hardly over done any more. And do not believe on the assured
call backs (scandal # 15). On the Bahamas even the smallest faith in justice
remains at a distance.
Actually there are these not ending delays, that readily lead to the evaluation
that the tactical behaviors of the Bahamian lawyers stink to the sky (scandal #
16). Does one have to really ask here the question, whether a lawyer want to charge high and highest costs from an allegedly rich
foreigner (scandal # 17)? At tables reserved for regulars one knows it exactly:
“ A lawyer of the Bahamas has the license to print the money!”
