Gilbert Thompson

Gilbert Thompson is an attorney at Meridian Law Chambers in the Bahamas, known for his expertise in land law and conveyancing. Recently, he has been vocal about his concerns regarding the Government's proposed Land Adjudication Bill, which he believes undermines the rights of Bahamians to appeal land ownership decisions to the Privy Council, the nation's highest court. Thompson argues that the proposed legislation excessively narrows the grounds for appeal, potentially limiting the ability of citizens to contest factual errors in land adjudication decisions. His advocacy highlights the importance of safeguarding legal rights in matters of land ownership and the implications of the reforms on the Bahamian judicial system.
