Avril Gumbs provided a declaration claiming that Rollocks gave her $1,500 to hold a Bar B Que for the senior citizens on the opening day of Border Point. Another key person that the defense lawyer may call as a witness in this case is Elvis Patrick who declared that he was paid $14,301.60 for construction work and material that he purchased to construct the properties at Border Point. Patrick also declared he was the main contractor for the Border Point Project.
The list has Cecil Richards who claimed he was paid $410.00, Darrius Grant $2,620.00 as a construction worker, Darren Grant $1,055.00, Shane Johnson $595.00, Devon Gardener $350.00, Hugh Wilson $2,275.00, Joan Haynes $1,575.00, Bernard Bazil $2,859.00, George Hughes $2,470.00. Most of the persons who provided Rollocks with declarations claimed they were paid by one Cindy Charles.
In the petition, Rollocks asked the court to place a lien on Talking Drum Foundation. Rollocks based his claim on the finding of the judge's ruling on April 9th 2010 that stated that Talking Drum should repay Rollocks the $33,332.92. Rollocks submitted affidavits and the receipts to support his claim that he invested $24,301.00 in labour and $14,302.00 in material for the project. In addition, Rollocks is claiming US$11,550 for fees and advisory services his company, BD consultancy provided to the foundation. In total therefore, he is claiming US$50,158.60. The additional charges are for court fees which amount to $65,206.18.
Rollocks requested that the court place a lien on Talking Drum's bank account at the Windward Islands Bank and also on the rent due from four tenants: M. Hildevert, O. Augustine, L. Dormoy and D. Richardson. His attorneys have promised the court to provide more and better documentation for Rollocks' claims in subsequent filings.
Attorney at law Wim Van Sambeek said last year when he represented Cimmerian Marlin in the court of First Instance he met with several of the tenants who told him that Rollocks did not invest any of his monies to build the booths at Border Point and that they all invested their own monies. Van Sambeek said the tenants told him that they gave Rollocks their receipts when he told them that they had to give him the receipts so that government could reimburse them for the buildings they erected at Border Point. "Rollocks was working with the Democratic Party at the time and he was instrumental in getting government to give over Border Point to the Talking Drum Foundation so he managed to coerce the tenants into believing that if they give him copies of their receipts then he will have government reimburse them. But Rollocks is now using those receipts for his personal gain," Van Sambeek said.
Van Sambeek will be representing Cimmerian Marlin again since Marlin said he never collected any rents from the tenants at Border Point. Talking Drum Foundation does not have monies since the tenants claimed they are not making monies due to the poor economy on St. Maarten said Talking Drum President Cimmerian Marlin.
Rollocks and his lawyers also served the Tenants on Friday last week informing them that they should no longer be pay their rents to Talking Drum Foundation but instead the rents should be paid into an account which will be managed by his attorneys until the outcome of the case.
Cimmerian Marlin also confirmed to SMN News that Rollocks had a notary prepare some documents for him to sign. Marlin said earlier this year Rollocks wanted to have the economic rights of Border Point be turned over to him. He basically wanted the same thing he took me to court for and lost, Marlin said.
