Real Estate Policy to be challenged tomorrow

VSB news reported tonight that, a year to the day, Government's real estate policy change, which blindsided every Bermudian, will be challenged in the Supreme Court.

The plaintiffs, a Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, are challenging the policy change preventing them from selling their qualifying Tuckers Town property to a foreign buyer - reportedly one Oprah Winfrey.

The Marshalls have apparently indicated a willingness to take this all the way to the Privy Council and are represented by one of the best, former Attorney General Saul Froomkin [Note: I'm biased because Saul's a good friend...but he's still one of the best).
