OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TAKES OVER IN SHANTYTOWN CASE

 

NASSAU, Bahamas — The government has changed its legal representation in the ongoing shantytown litigation due to a “difference of opinion as to the legal strategy in the government’s defense” regarding the judicial review application, Attorney General Carl Bethel said last night.

As it relates to the judicial review application brought forward by ‘Respect our Homes Ltd.’, which has sought to halt the government’s attempt to remove shantytowns throughout The Bahamas, Bethel said Harvey Tynes, QC, and Roberts Adams have withdrawn as counsel representing several respondent government agencies and the ministry. https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/09/04/ags-office-takes-over-in-shantytown-case/
