In a stunning new development, the Privy Council in London today granted Bimini Blue Coalition's injunction application stopping dredging activities from continuing in Bimini, reversing a decision by the Bahamas Court of Appeal on Monday.
The
injunction is effective immediately. As consequence, Resorts World
Bimini developers cannot dredge unless and until they can persuade the
Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court that the permit they have was
properly granted with proper consideration by the Director of Physical
Planning and that additional conditions are satisfied.
Dredging activities in Bimini began over a week ago.
