Re: Debtors jail catch Cure, it is the law in Jamaica too.

i don't think he was placed under arrest actually, the promoter with whom he was engaged and whose show he was in negotiations to perform and which fell apart, came with the police to the hotel, then they all went to the precinct, the money (deposit) was returned, and he performed at the show for which he was getting more money. at least as far as I know.

Re: Debtors jail catch Cure, it is the law in Jamaica too.

Under that circumstance he did not have to rerturn the deposit.
Unless you are arrested police cannot take you to jail . this is not the USA There are laws in the British West Indies that will send you to prison for private debt. There is not Chapter 7 or 11 or whatever to relieve you of debts in Jamaica. If you owe it you can go to prison for it. That is one reason why the damn places are so economically backward And people have to go to other places to ear a living. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: monk</div><div class="ubbcode-body">i don't think he was placed under arrest actually, the promoter with whom he was engaged and whose show he was in negotiations to perform and which fell apart, came with the police to the hotel, then they all went to the precinct, the money (deposit) was returned, and he performed at the show for which he was getting more money. at least as far as I know. </div></div>

Re: Debtors jail catch Cure, it is the law in Jamaica too.

Debtors law is in Jamaica, still . That is one of the slave laws that people like me have been trying to remove, but because so many people like you think these laws will just disappear, I am in the minority. That is why the Jamaican banks give demand loans on about everything. they have the right to withdraw it whenever they wish, and to put you in prison if they please. The Only problem is that they will have to pay the cost.Although the cost is way below the economic cost, because the dollar have devalue d so far.and it is the money of the time.
And Richmond farm was never debtors jail in your time. They only tell the neighbors that, because they prisoners use to be able to have family in the neighborhoods. Nobody there was ever criminals as far as they claimed, but they were al criminals. debtors are usually locked up for a while then taken back to court to negotiate some new payment schedule.
Then send on their way after being terribly embarrassed. many simply leave the Island. since there is nothing in the law at allow them to stop a debtor from travel. And the Us does not recognize debtors gaol laws.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">mi did tink sey dem do away wid debtors jail

what does the bankruptcy act cover in Jamaica law?

what is the debtors act cover when it refers to &quot;Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt&quot;?

[Dr.Dudd]

Re: Debtors jail catch Cure, it is the law in Jamaica too.

It covers the creditors demand to be paid basically . In Jamaica a creditor can place you in bancruptsy. That is how it happens in Jamaica. That is how it is in the state too, but the state has &quot;protections under the chapter 7, 11,9 13,etc. Jamaica has no such protection against bankruptcy.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

Re: Debtors jail catch Cure, it is the law in Jamaica too.

Jamaican reggae artiste Jah Cure is denying reports that he was arrested on the weekend during a trip to Trinidad.

The Trinidad Guardian newspaper reported that hours before he was slated to perform in San Fernando Saturday night, Jah Cure was arrested at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad Hotel.

The newspaper said the singer was held following a court order issued by Justice Sebastian Ventor for failure to pay US$19,993 to a local businessman.

But in a statement issued on Sunday night Jah Cure said negotiations had broken down with the promoter regarding a show.

According to the statement, Jah Cure and members of his management team accompanied the promoter to a nearby police station where the deposit was returned.

It said the artiste was not arrested and was able to fulfill his commitments at a concert which took place at Guaracara Park the same night.

Jah Cure was released from jail in Jamaica two years ago after serving nine years for rape.

What is the date of that amendment?/
since there is a large project that I know that has been sidelined, because the locals refuse to risk personal debt greater than their physical asset<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">and on the &quot;Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt&quot; ? </div></div>

Re: Debtors jail catch Cure, it is the law in Jamaica too.

I know of amendment that was supposed to be 19993.Never saw the prevention of imprisonment.
even after Manley days I am sure that RM courts were threatening people to pay debts,or go to prison.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">appears to me to be 1973 ..not sure though
