We have written a number of articles detailing how a number of lawyers in Barbados have been engaged in the theft of real estate from absentee Bajan owners, or those who are powerless to protect themselves from fraud, forgery, corruption of the court system, and additional white collar crimes committed by unethical and greedy members of the Bar, who have been acting with impunity.
Our latest information involves property that was once owned by the leading American/Bajan civil rights activist the Right Reverend Michael Haynes. Haynes was a close friend of American icon Martin Luther King, Jr., and the two of them worked together in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
The real estate in question passed, through inheritance, to Haynes' son; On January 18, 2023, attorney CORY H.D. BECKLES allegedly broke into the property, without permission, or colour of law. He was reportedly accompanied by clerk ANTHONY HINDS, attorney KAVIER CALLENDER and an individual claiming to be a Bailiff, WAYNE MCKENZIE. Beckles is reportedly acting on behalf of a client named JOSEPH JORDAN, of Sunset Crest, St. James. Jordan's claim has no basis in law, according to our sources. An attorney's failure to adequately research authorities before taking action constitutes gross negligence, and requires disbarment, but the law in Barbados is weak, corrupt and useless when it comes to the administration of justice.
Readers of this blog will recall that attorney Beckles is connected to known Bajan fraudster and unlicensed jailhouse lawyer WINSTON CLARKE* also known as JOE GRIFFITH, who has victimised a number of Bajans through the unauthorised practise of law, allegedly working out of Beckles' law office. Until the Barbados Bar Association, and the courts, start disciplining and punishing attorneys who steal real estate from their clients, and from innocent expats living abroad, these crimes will continue unabated.
