Yet again the Government of Antigua & Barbuda is reaching
new frontiers of disrepute.
Not only has it ignored the basic requirements of its
Constitution to ensure payment of prompt and proper compensation
for its unique version of the expropriation of foreign-owned
private property, it now acts in utter contempt of court.
In October of 2020, during a hearing of a legal action for
enforcement brought against the Government of Antigua by HM.B.
Holdings Limited, the GOAB gave a Court Undertaking that it would
not dispose of any assets until the outcome of a court decision
regarding the outstanding compensation, which has remained unpaid
for 14 years, following the expropriation of the Half Moon Bay
Resort from its rightful, private foreign owners.
