Communications with Attorney General’s Office - Toby Smith

Wed, May 5th 2021, 01:20 PM

Subsequent to the Attorney General’s Press Release Statement dated 5th May, 2021 captioned “Leaked Communications”

The Attorney General needs to please check his facts as he did not call me into a meeting to “negotiate” on the 27th February, 2020, just a few weeks after I signed, notarized, sealed and returned Paradise Island Lighthouse & Beach Club’s Crown Land lease. He told me, amongst other things, that they were moving me unilaterally down the beach and pushing it down my throat. In the spirit of healthy negotiations he should have asked if I was willing to move my agreed upon parcel.

He was not prepared to put what he was “offering” in writing, he would not even give me a copy of the plan highlighting where they were attempting to shove me on honey comb rock to operate a Beach Club to consider.

Further, he refers in his Press Release citing “his Proposed Crown Land on Paradise Island”. Please see attached where the Department of Lands & Survey’s were commissioned in conjunction with multiple Government agencies including the Bahamas Investment Authority and even the Attorney General’s office themselves to draft the Crown Land Lease agreement.

The Department of Lands & Surveys offered on behalf of the Government of the Bahamas a Crown Land Lease and accompanied with a cover letter dated 7th January, 2021 Stating “APPROVAL CROWN LAND LEASE – FIVE (2+3) ACRES AT THE WEST END OF PARADISE ISLAND- PARADISE ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE AND BEACH CLUB COMPANY LIMITED”

The Crown Land Lease was provided to Paradise Island Lighthouse & Beach Club Co. Ltd., was accepted in its entirety and returned to The Department of Lands & Surveys on the 9th January, 2020 exactly as outlined in the Department of Lands & Surveys’ cover letter to do same.

Please note that the Crown Land Lease was signed in the presence of Mr. Adrian White, as witness, attorney, Executive Chairman of Town Planning and notarized by same.

For the sake of good order Paradise Island Lighthouse & Beach Club has every faith in the Bahamas justice system for a fair trial and looks forward to our day in court and wishes to publicly thank Bahamians and the general public for their kind support.

May the light shine on…….
