(LYONS’ RULING)

U.S HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT ON THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/204634.pdf

I THEREFORE, URGENTLY CALL FOR A COMPLETE AND IMMEDIATE REVAMP OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, WHICH HAS BEEN ILLEGALLY AND UNLAWFULLY OPERATING SINCE 2003,HAVING TWICE BEEN DEEMED UNCONSTITUTIONAL, NOT INDEPENDENT AND NOT IMPARTIAL SINCE 2003, BY SENIOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICE JOHN D. LYONS.

MY QUESTION AND VERY GRAVE CONCERN, HOWEVER, IS......
IF OUR NATION AND OUR JUDICIARY IS IN SUCH A TERRIBLE STATE, WHY THEN WAS THE PEOPLE’S PARLIAMENT SHUT DOWN FOR TWO (2) WEEKS....
ESPECIALLY WITH OUR LEADERS HAVING RECENTLY RETURNED FROM SUCH A LONG VACATION?

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY.....
AND WHY ARE WE ALLOWING OUR LEADERS TO DO WHATEVER THEY WISH AND NOT BE MADE TO ACCOUNT, INCLUDING BY SOME FROM THE 4TH ESTATE (THE MEDIA), IN PARTICULAR, THE PEOPLE’S STATION (ZNS)?

***URGENT CALL FOR THE PEOPLE’S PARLIAMENT TO IMMEDIATELY BE RE-
OPENED ******

I THEREFORE, URGENTLY CALL ON PRIME MINISTER PERRY CHRISTIE, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER PHILIP DAVIS, THE EXECUTIVE (CABINET) AND GOVERNMENT OF THE BAHAMAS, TO IMMEDIATELY RE-OPEN THE PEOPLE’S PARLIAMENT AND DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE’S BUSINESS, BY IMMEDIATELY CALLING A REFERENDUM TO CORRECT THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY:

AS OUR LEADERS ARE QUITE AWARE THAT, SENIOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICE JOHN D. LYONS, HAD RULED IN OCTOBER 2006 AND NOVEMBER 2006, THAT THE EXECUTIVE (CABINET) BROKE THE LAW IN 2003 AND ALSO IN 2006, BY NOT MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL IN 2003 NOR IN 2006, TO APPOINT A COMMISSION (INDEPENDENT) TO REVIEW ‘THE REMUNERATION OF JUDGES’ SALARIES AND PENSIONS’ ACT’:

AND WHICH, ACCORDING TO THE LAW, MUST BE CONDUCTED EVERY THREE (3) YEARS:

THE EXECUTIVE (CABINET), PRESENT AND PAST 2 ADMINISTRATIONS
(PLP AND FNM), HOWEVER, ALSO BROKE THE LAW IN 2009 AND ALSO IN 2012, BY AGAIN, NOT MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL IN 2009 NOR IN 2012, TO APPOINT A COMMISSION (INDEPENDENT) TO REVIEW ‘THE REMUNERATION OF JUDGES’ SALARIES AND PENSIONS’ ACT’:

JUSTICE LYONS RULED THAT THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY IS THEREFORE, BEHOLDEN TO THE EXECUTIVE, ESPECIALLY RELATING TO MATTERS INVOLVING THE EXECUTIVE AND GOVERNMENT OF THE BAHAMAS:

WHILE ALSO RULING THAT THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY IS A ‘CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS’, WHICH CAN ONLY BE CORRECTED BY THE EXECUTIVE CALLING A REFERENDUM (TO CAUSE THERE TO BE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT) AND NOT BY THE JUDICIARY NOR BY LEGISLATION.

JUSTICE LYONS FURTHER RULED THAT THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY HAS THEREFORE, BEEN COMPROMISED,

THAT JUDGES ARE NO LONGER INDEPENDENT,

AND THAT JUDGES CAN NO LONGER CONSTITUTIONALLY PRESIDE OVER ANY MATTERS IN THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY (CIVIL, CRIMINAL OR OTHERWISE), UNTIL THE EXECUTIVE CORRECTS THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY:

JUSTICE LYONS ALSO RULED THAT JUDGES CAN NO LONGER BE APPOINTED AND THAT THERE CAN BE NO EXTENSION OF THE TENURE OF JUDGES.

THIS INDEED IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND WHICH ALSO HAS GREAT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS:

THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY INCLUDES:

THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL
THE MAGISTRATE’S COURT
THE SUPREME COURT
THE COURT OF APPEAL
AND THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF HER MAJESTY’S PRIVY COUNCIL (THE PRIVY COUNCIL), ALTHOUGH STATIONED IN ENGLAND.

*******AN URGENT CALL FOR THE PEOPLE’S PARLIAMENT TO IMMEDIATELY
BE RE-OPENED AS LAWS BEING PASSED HAVE NO TEETH! *******

OUR LEADERS, LAW MAKERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY (INCLUDING THOSE IN THE JUDICIARY) ARE QUITE AWARE OF JUSTICE LYONS' VERY DEVASTATING RULING AGAINST THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, YET THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE JUDICIARY TO OPERATE AS IS...... ILLEGALLY!

WHILE ALSO BEING AWARE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY LAWS THEY PASS, MAKE OR AMEND IN PARLIAMENT, THAT THESE LAWS HAVE ‘NO TEETH’,
DUE TO THE STATE OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY:

AS THE PENALTIES APPLIED IN THESE LAWS, ARE NOT AT ALL ENFORCEABLE EVEN IN THE COURTS OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY (WHERE OUR LAWS ARE ULTIMATELY ENFORCED):

THEREFORE, MAKING THESE LAWS INEFFECTIVE AND USELESS.

AND WHICH WOULD INCLUDE LAWS RELATING TO CRIME, V.A.T, LABOUR, ELECTRICITY (BEC), COMMUNICATIONS, U.R.C.A, FINANCE, BANKING, HEALTH, TRAFFIC, HOUSING, EDUCATION , INSURANCE, IMMIGRATION, SOCIAL SERVICES, THE ENVIRONMENT, TOURISM, ARGRICULTURE, FISHERIES, ETC....

LOOK AT THE DILEMMA WITH THE GAMBLING HOUSES....
AND WHERE THAT MATTER IS STILL LINGERING IN OUR COURTS, ONE (1) YEAR TO DATE!

NOTWITHSTANDING THE WE, THE PEOPLE WENT TO THE POLLS, ONE YEAR TO DATE AND WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE VOTING NO.... TO THE QUESTIONS PUT TO US!

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!

A MATTER WHICH GOT BEFORE THE COURTS IN A SNAP..... YET IT'S STILL LINGERING IN OUR COURTS!!

IS IT THAT ATTORNEYS IN THIS MATTER, ARE ALSO USING JUSTICE LYONS’ RULING AS A GROUND THAT THERE CAN BE NO FAIR HEARINGS IN THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY??

WOW!! AMAZING!!

********* BRIBERY OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY ****

HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF CALLING A REFERENDUM, TO CORRECT THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, WHAT THE EXECUTIVE(S) DID, WAS BRIBE THE JUDGES AND OTHER JUDICIAL OFFICERS OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY:

BY UNLAWFULLY PASSING LEGISLATION IN PARLIAMENT, IN 2007 AND ALSO IN 2011, UNLAWFULLY INCREASING THE SALARIES OF JUDGES (AND OTHER JUDICIAL OFFICERS), WHILE ALSO UNLAWFULLY ENHANCING THEIR PENSIONS:

DESPITE JUSTICE LYONS’ RULING, THAT THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY THE JUDICIARY NOR BY LEGISLATION, BUT BY THE EXECUTIVE CALLING A REFERENDUM
(TO CAUSE THERE TO BE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT).

(SET UP OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY)

*****THE ATTORNEY GENERAL APPEALED JUSTICE LYONS' RULING BUT
LATER WITHDREW THE APPEAL ******

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO AT THE TIME, WAS THE PRESENT ATTORNEY GENERAL (MRS. ALLYSON MAYNARD GIBSON) APPEALED JUSTICE LYONS’ RULING TO THE COURT OF APPEAL, NOTWITHSTANDING JUSTICE LYONS’ RULING THAT THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY THE JUDICIARY NOR BY LEGISLATION, BUT BY THE EXECUTIVE CALLING A REFERENDUM:

AND NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE COURT OF APPEAL, ALSO BEING A PART OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, IS ALSO DEEMED UNCONSTITUTIONAL, NOT INDEPENDENT AND NOT IMPARTIAL SINCE 2003, BY JUSTICE LYONS.

HOWEVER, ON THE DAY OF THE HEARING OF THE APPEAL, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WITHDREW THE APPEAL, WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE.

JUSTICE LYONS’ RULING, HOWEVER, IS STILL LAW TO DATE, AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN OVERTURNED BY ANY COURT.

***THE EXECUTIVE REFUSES TO CORRECT THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF
THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY *******

NOTWITHSTANDING JUSTICE LYONS’ VERY DEVASTATING RULING AGAINST THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, THE EXECUTIVE (PRESENT AND PAST 2 ADMINISTRATIONS), TEN (10) YEARS TO DATE, OUTRIGHTLY REFUSE TO CALL A REFERENDUM TO CORRECT THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY:

AND NOTWITHSTANDING THAT PRIME MINISTER PERRY CHRISTIE AND THE EXECUTIVE APPOINTED A CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION IN 2012, TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS OF POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE BAHAMAS.

HOWEVER, TO DATE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECOMMENDATIONS BY THIS COMMISSION, AS IT RELATE TO CALLING A REFERENDUM TO CORRECT THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY:

AND NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THIS COMMISSION WAS HEADED BY A QUEEN'S COUNCIL, ATTORNEYS AND A FORMER JUDGE OF OUR COURTS.

THE EXECUTIVES' REFUSAL TO CORRECT THE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM OF THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, HOWEVER, HAS GREATLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE LAWLESSNESS, MAYHEM, CHAOS AND ANARCHY ON THE STREETS OF NEW PROVIDENCE AND NOW SOME OF OUR FAMILY ISLANDS:

******OUR LEADERS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE STATE OF
OUR NATION ****

OUR LEADERS, THEREFORE, MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, FOR THE TERRIBLE STATE OF OUR NATION, AS THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, SINCE 2003, TO ILLEGALLY OPERATE!

AND WHERE, ATTORNEYS (ON BEHALF OF THEIR CLIENTS) AND OTHER LITIGANTS ARE USING JUSTICE LYONS’ RULING AS GROUNDS OF VIOLATIONS OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, WHILE PLEADING THAT THEY CANNOT RECEIVE FAIR HEARING(S) IN THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, NOR WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME:

WHICH IS WHY SO MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING LET OUT ON BAIL:

AS JUSTICE LYONS HAD ALSO RULED THAT THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE, NO REDRESS AND NO FAIR HEARINGS IN THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, WHILE ALSO RULING, IS A VIOLATION OF ONE'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

AND WHICH IS WHY THERE IS SUCH A TREMENDOUS BACKLOG OF CASES IN THE BAHAMAS JUDICIARY, AND WHICH HAS NOW SURPASSED 90,000 CASES, SINCE THE YEAR 2010:

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!

IMAGINE WHAT THE BACK LOG IS, TO DATE AND WITH THE HEARING OF MANY CASES HAVING NOW BEEN PUSHED BACK TO THE YEAR 2016:

THIS IS RIDICULOUS....UNACCEPTABLE...AND MUST NO LONGER BE TOLERATED!!

HEADS MUST NOW ROLL!!
