Jaguar Paw threatens court action against NICH/Gegg contract

The NICH agreement with Cruise Solutions is back in the news and yet another interest has thrown its hat into the anti-concession agreement ring. On Tuesday, attorney for Jaguar Paw, Elson Kaseke dispatched a letter to acting-President and Chairperson of the NICH board, Herman Byrd, demanding that NICH immediately cancel or declare the Cruise Solutions contract as void. According to Kaseke, the agreement signed by David Gegg and Diane Haylock in August was not only executed unlawfully, but will seriously affect his client’s business by giving an unfair advantage to Cruise Solutions in relation to accessing cruise ship visitors to the Caves Branch site. If there is no resolution by close of business on Friday, Kaseke says he will file and application for judicial review of the contract. When News Five contacted Byrd this afternoon, he told us he just received the letter today and as such will consult with his lawyers tomorrow.
