A BARBADIAN-BORN woman who lives in the United States is pursuing legal action against a local attorney at law to recover almost $100 000 owed to her from a land transaction.
The woman, retired nurse Joan Marville, said she had notified the police, raised the matter with the Barbados Bar Association and hired a lawyer to help her get her money from the sale of land at Balls Plantation, Christ Church, in 2006.
But the lawyer said in a letter his firm had financial problems and he was in the process of trying to recover more than $2 million to pay back numerous creditors, including banks and other clients.
Marville spoke to the DAILY NATION yesterday at Amaryllis Hotel, where she is staying until she returns to Queens, New York, on Wednesday.
“My sister and I own land at Balls Plantation, a part of which was being used by Direct Rentals, a car rental place,” she explained. “They were using it for free, so we decided to rent it to them; and then they decided they wanted to buy it.”
