Court Trial Involving $800 Million Apartment Complex Continues Amidst Controversy
Introduction:
The legal battle over an impressive $800 million apartment complex, owned by developer Juliet Holness’ company, remains in the spotlight as the trial continues into January 2024. The proceedings, which recently faced a brief adjournment due to health complications, will be resumed to settle the dispute over the land’s splintered title. Here’s a detailed update on the ongoing court case.
The Background:
The trial centres on a land dispute involving marketing consultant Charlene Ashley and JAJ Development and Holdings Ltd, a company owned by Juliet Holness. The focal point is a piece of property in Leas Flat, St. Andrew, which was purchased by JAJ from Ashley in 2012 for $22 million.

The Contentions:
At the heart of the legal battle lies the issue of the “splintered title.” The sales agreement required Ashley to provide the title for Lot Two, which she claimed was hindered by problems with the subdivision and alleged actions by JAJ. Ashley also accused JAJ of trespassing on her lot and breaching the agreement by constructing an access road to the apartment complex.
The Cross-Examination:
During a recent court session, lead attorney Rose Bennett-Cooper questioned Ashley about her compliance with the sales agreement and the validity of the title she provided. The attorney asserted that Ashley’s actions had delayed the development of the apartment complex, while Ashley refuted these claims and pointed out alleged breaches by Holness.
Controversial Access Road Issue:
One of the central points of contention is the access road between the two lots. JAJ rejected the title provided by Ashley, citing discrepancies with the width of the access road and the violation of the 2011 subdivision approval. The dispute over the access road’s design and construction has played a crucial role in the trial.

The Inclusion Controversy:
Ashley claimed that Holness initially included her property in the apartment complex plans, which Holness later admitted was an “error” corrected in 2021. Parish authorities required both lots to be shown on the main site plan until separate titles were issued, adding to the complexity of the case.
Conclusion:
As the trial continues with Justice David Batts presiding, the $800 million apartment complex dispute remains a subject of intense public interest. Both parties’ contentions and the controversies surrounding the access road and property inclusion add to the intrigue of this legal battle.
