If the Ministers of the House (from both sides) had recognized the value of judicial sovereignty, they would have certainly lobbied for making the CCJ the highest court of appeals. Because of their failure to do so, it has resulted in a setback that could hinder FUTURE cases. I stress that both sides share blame in regard to this issue.Democrateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040973779936847990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786533243646969089.post-91984571809791649732008-05-21T21:35:00.000-07:002008-05-21T21:35:00.000-07:00Ah, I'm a little late in reading this, but thoroug...Ah, I'm a little late in reading this, but thoroughly enjoyed it and the comments that followed. Sorry to burst Anon's bubble, but Dean and his boys did miss the boat at the time, and Ashcroft has in fact vowed to take several of the cases now pending up to the Privy Council if that's what it takes to get his way. ACB is one example, Sagis may very well get there too. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, RebelThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912912546154595077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786533243646969089.post-91453328572609521272008-05-20T09:02:00.000-07:002008-05-20T09:02:00.000-07:00Thanks for the clarification.

The contract was signed, sealed and delivered with the arbitration clause in it. Whether Barrow supported the CCJ move or not is irrelevant - arbitration would still have taken place in England.

As a contributing member, I see it as necessary and valuable to hear both sides of the issues raised in this blog. However, putting biases aside, I really cannot see anything inaccurate about the original piece; the facts, as I'm aware, show that Dean Barrow did not support the bill to Democrateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040973779936847990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786533243646969089.post-44320881164929236132008-05-19T13:17:00.000-07:002008-05-19T13:17:00.000-07:00no need to be disgusted with us or the blog. we co...no need to be disgusted with us or the blog. we could easily remove your comment and that would be a sad thing, however the blog's purpose is to allow for everyone to give their "two cents" on the posts.

And for the first time I questioned how can a Court that is 5000 miles away (England) make decisions that are unrelated to their community. We are an independent nation; and with independence, we should be able to make rulings irrespective of previous colonial relationships.
