FOX Hill MP Shonel Ferguson’s investment company has squandered a chance at having the Privy Council overturn its eviction from a building it never paid real property taxes on since assuming responsibility for it some 13 years ago. The Court of Appeal, in a recent written ruling, dismissed Turtle Creek Investment’s (TCI) application for conditional leave to appeal to the London-based tribunal because its attorneys did not show up for the hearing. As such, Donna Davis’ Daybreak Holdings Limited, via its attorney Christina Galanos, successfully applied to appellate Justices Jon Isaacs, Roy Jones and Milton Evans to have the matter dismissed for want of prosecution. The Court of Appeal’s decision is the latest in the saga over a near 13-year-old hire purchase agreement between the two sides for the building in question, which housed the Crab House and Seafood Emporium. On November 13, 2018, Supreme Court Justice Keith Thompson ordered TCI to move out of the building in Centreville no later than close of business on December 15, 2018.
