COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS IN THE SUPREME COURTRuling • December 21st, 2021
The Plaintiffs commenced an action against the Defendants, alleging that it breached certain terms of a Sales Agreement executed for the sale and development of certain lots of land on Rose Island, The Bahamas. The Writ was filed but was not served until eight months later. The Plaintiffs did nothing further. The First Defendant then filed an application to strike out the Writ on several grounds namely: (i) the Plaintiffs have been guilty of prolonged or inordinate and inexcusable delay in proceeding with the action; (ii) the Writ of Summons does not disclose a reasonable cause of action, (iii) the action is an abuse of process; (iv) non-compliance with the Rules of the Supreme Court; and (v) the claim is statute-barred.
