Turtlegrass hails court disclosure order in Rosewood Exuma case

Court Orders Yntegra to Hand Over Key Documents in Rosewood Exuma Case

‍

Yntegra’s failure to provide highly relevant documents made a dedicated disclosure hearing necessary, a hearing in which we succeeded in obtaining an order for the disclosure of documents that had not previously been turned over. That failure also forced the postponement of the entire trial. The ruling marked a major win for the Bahamian people, for transparency, and for the rule of law.

‍

Bahamians will now finally be able to see how the Yntegra project came to be granted approvals by DEPP. We are extremely pleased that the Court recognised these were key documents which the other side had failed to disclose, even though their attorneys had repeatedly insisted that everything relevant had already been shared.

‍

Without our pressing for these documents, they might never have seen the light of day, which they now will. It has taken several months and multiple formal requests to secure an order for the release of this critical information, which goes to the heart of environmental protection and lawful decision‑making. We say, .and the Court agrees, ethat this material is relevant to the case. We look forward to the moment when Bahamians can finally see what it contains.
