Struggling a little there apc. Wouldn't happen in Paphos would it?



Why not admit it, the whole of Cyprus is the same? (ie paranoid)



Connor protests on the internet and the police come a calling.



ITV will have a field day with the ROC.



As an aside, I am going South for the Guy Fawkes celebration on Friday, would you recommend Ay Nik or Dhekalia?



Thanks in advance.

When there is so much 'honour amongst thieves', one would have thought that settlement of 'The Cyprus Problem' would be easy!

Perhaps "The Cyprus Problem"should be changed to "The Problem With Cyprus"............

Difficult to argue with post 5 (though I am sure somebody will). North...South...Two peas in a pod.



Makes sense when you realise that they are exactly the same people....Genetically that is!

and learnt the tricks of the trade from the same masters, pre-1960 Brits! We may be reformed now but for those who remember the corruption being exposed by Private Eye in the 60s you get an insight into the abuse of power that WAS the British Empire.

Abuse of power = Empire, historically speaking ...

That is a little simplistic Martin (or to put it another way, what are you on about)



Back in the time when I joined the army, we were still fighting colonial wars. If you saw someone in a skirt, you shot him and nicked his country.

Well, the good news is - bullying by individuals has been recognised by the Court - I wonder what sentences the culprits will get...



As Ismet points out the action by the local Police against the web site seems a little bizarre - but I'd like to know the exact wording of the case... possibly having the content on the site might make it inadmissible as evidence, but how it could be worthy of 'gagging' ? !!...



FOR SURE, this family have been shafted and it has taken too long, and too much suffering to get 'sorted'..



The fact that it is being tracked by ITV will eventually dawn on someone with a brain in central govt.



There IS a different between this case and how a similar case might be handled in 'TRNC'



1/ Attempts at physical harm HAVE been ( eventually) heard by a Court and the culprits convicted.



2/ Up to now the O'Dwyers have been allowed to protest on the island and haven't had computers seized

mmmmmm

Just found THIS

from 'get real'



'reality' is something that they need to get..



HOW can anyone be so fervently nationalistic that they take such an affront re a civil case that has got WAY out of hand ?!



Head bangs on wall...

msg13 Vituperative behaviour such as this from "Get Real"should be in itself considered an offence....

Unfortunately, Get Real is one of those rabid fanatics who is completely unable to see one iota of worth in any other people than Greek Cypriots, and who also comes complete with a lexicon of insults, abuse and obscenity for any who dare to question him or, heaven forbid, criticise him.



He has a number of acolytes and cronies on that site who fawningly support his fervour, but it doesn't make for a lot of intelligent reading...



I was interested to see the reference on that link to this, which sounds as unpleasant as Connor's case....



"Actually Richard I can tell you of a very similar case to Conor's that has been going on for longer than his. The victim in the case however was assaulted by a lawyer rather than the developer although luckily there was no injury. The lawyer is such a coward he only feels brave enough to pick on lone women.

The government in this particular case have admitted liability for accepting obviously fraudulent paperwork which allowed her contract to be withdrawn from the land registry and also allowed the property to be resold.



However, one thing in common with Conor's case is that she has still not had any offer of compensation despite the admission of liability. The lawyer is under investigation by the the police but it is equally the fault of the land registry that she is in the position she is and has been for 4 years now. It should of course come as no surprise that it is the same law firm as is involved in the illegal resale of Conor's house and has already been in court before

Why on earth they are still allowed to practice is anyone's guess.



You may think that you will eventually get justice in Cyprus but 12 years should be the exception rather than the norm.



Conor has taken his case through the proper channels and the Attorney General decided that selling a house twice was not against the law.

May I draw attention to a fact that seems to escape notice: In Conor's case the police did not bring any charges against the culprits. It was Conor himself who initiated the private criminal case. Before anybody rushes to start private criminal proceedings against anybody, let me inform you that many years ago TRNC changed this law and at the moment private criminal proceedings can be started only with the permission of the Attorney General.
