Speaker exposed! Judge unravels farcical accusations
A Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) article accusing Justice Adrian Jack of ‘wrestling’ a case away from another judge, Justice Gerhard Wallbank, has been exposed as a ploy to mislead the public. This follows the revelation that the claimant in the matter had family closely employed with Judge Wallbank.
The claimant in question was VINO’s owner, Speaker Julian Willock, who had filed a court injunction but expressed discomfort with the now presiding judge, Justice Jack.
Willock’s news site alleged that Justice Jack effectively stole the case from Justice Gerhard Wallbank. But in a recent judgment, Justice Jack rubbished those claims and further revealed that Justice Wallbank‘s judicial assistant is Mr Willock‘s sister so “the judge (Wallbank) felt it was inappropriate for him to deal with the case”.
They are not my friends
VINO’s article had also accused the judge of being friends with Governor John Rankin as well a the man heading the Commissioner of the Inquiry, Sir Gary Hickinbottom — both of whom are connect to the subject of Willock’s court injunction.
Justice Jack addressed that claim in his September 28 judgement.
“[I] put on record that I barely know either Sir Gary Hickinbottom or his Excellency the Governor. They are not friends of mine,” the judge said.
Furthermore, Justice Jack was keen to point out that Willock — who publicly accused him of interference and impropriety — declined to take the opportunity to request that Justice Jack recuse himself from the matter.
Speaker’s court campaign defeated
In the same judgment, Willock was ordered to pay all court costs associated with the now aborted matter. The court ruled that “Willock acted unreasonably in issuing the proceedings and then discontinuing them at the first indication that there might be procedural problems with the case”.
Speaker Willock could pay up to $121,000 from the defendant’s legal fees alone.

We believe Willock any day over the white man
You’re probably one of the hot dog BUNS that is used to hold …(if you know what I mean) yall sick
The blonde b***on should refrain from writing comments here. He looks even more like an i***t which he has already proven. Stick him in jail in the UK if he doesn’t pay. No jail in the BVI where he will be incarcerated with his family.
No we DON’T. willock acted disgracefully. I truly hope the Premier now takes action and stops this stupid fiasco.
Wait…
Judges and politicians are lying to us? WHAAAAAAT? Say it ain’t so. That can never happen here with BVILOVE.
Sigh
I see the Klan is on your side, but strangely it is not making you look any worse.
Kkk – It is because of fools like you that villains prosper.
You’re a racist. Nothing more. Just a pain old fashioned racist.
Im just checking in to see if the blond De-esteemed one has paid his judgement yet? If they don’t cough up the money, what’s next? Im sure those three lawyers want to collect that judgment now.
The steam has been released from the esteemed one. All thats left is a blond colonial wig and a large bill.
Meanwhile the former esteemed one has taken aim at BVI news for its recent article with headlines speaker has been expose. He is mad about it. Poor thing. You have a new enemy bvinews by way of this new judgement.
They are wondering if you are working with the COI. What says you? Tell the truth now and shame the devil.
As per them, bvinews is owned by a white woman. Oh the horror. Thats news to me. Why does it matter anyway?
Anyway again Im just checking on the desteemed one payment of judgement. I hope the wiser heads ensure tax payers monies does not pay a dime of it.
His s***** works closely with the first judge and he knew that was why the other judge tried the case. Yet they went and still wrote a deceitful story on the other news site to fool the public. What I have said is in the judgement so you could read it for yourself. These people have some serious ethical issues.
He has to go. Too much dishonesty and bringing the Office of our Speaker repeatedly into disrepute.
Willock always barking up the wrong tree
Just like how he forgot to wear his wig he exposed his baldhead…LMFAO
Are you referring to MPfrom the Muppet Show ?
Finally some peace and quiet. Thank goodness.
Your leaders steal from and lie to you. ALL THE TIME.
Tar and feather them. Otherwise keep paying respect and your hard earned $ to masters treating you like . . . fools
The esteemed must be somewhere smiling not even taking these people on but then again he built for this blah blah blah
WE WILL NEVER TURN OUR BACK ON HON WILLOCK FOR THE WHITE MAN, AS JULIAN IS A FIGHTER FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND FOR JUSTICE
Suuurree he is…keep believing that…
When you want real and unbiased news, you have to visit news sites that will give it to you. Of course the V site will never real the truth. This is disposable behavior from the speaker. If there was only one V site we would never know the real truth. How can the premier continue to accept this kind of behavor. In this case silence is not golden it is corruption. If advertisors want value for their money then they follow where the viewers are going. Thank you bvi news for printing facts and the truth. Value for money. If by now the readers don’t recognize that the two most dispiced person in the bvi is all associated with one news site honestly speaking.
ha ha the more they talk about Willock the more powerful he becomes
He is the new BVI hero if you ask me
you spelt j@ck@$$ wrong
as a comedy sideshow for the VIP “administration”. While we obsess about the “unwigged” esteemed one, they escape scrutiny for their massive failure to get a grip on any of the crises we have suffered.
The Premier must support him.
They are also aligned with a specific political party and its leader.
If he had any honor at all he would resign immediately. The premier needs to fire him. Although with the COI half the cabinet should have resigned.
It is the Premier who should voluntarily step down,in my opinion.
Vino should be held accountable for their actions and both the publication and the speaker held in contempt for misleading the public.
The whole of the VIP make my skin itch when I see them. They are such terrible people. They represent the worst in us.
You got Issues
Yep we can see where his real face start from / and with a little makeup from the VG fighting Queen , they will be ready for war ??
he files, dismisses and it cost 120 thousand? These legal fees are like a daylight robbery.
What a thing, when neither the Speaker nor his Deputy, can be trusted to speak the truth. SMDH.
SMDH
Willo is good people he will survive this like others he has
How is Willock still the Speaker of the House? Not asking for a friend…..
We will riot, kill and burn the place down if Julian Willock is ever removed as speaker so don’t think about it
You will riot against us your fellow belongers who have had enough of the BS? You learn nothing and that disturbs us the majority who have had enough.
defending fascism.
Killing? Rioting? Really? How childish.
All this “ them against us “ stuff is so illogical.
We are all one here. Nobody is above the law, no matter who they are.
Thanks I am ready to March and riot mr Willock is one of we he from here
VINO going on the attack now accusing others of biased one sided reporting. Hilarious stuff
I know right. I put a comment where they accused this news site of being biased and they have not posted it as it was not in support of their conjecture
Another bill for the speaker and all now the one against Mark is allegedly not paid. Sigh.
Stop you all hate against Hon Speaker he is fight for us from enslavement
and now he is going to save us and later the world ? (I am sure that gentleman at hotel balo patiently awaits his arrival
Ladies and gentlemen we have a new SAVIOR in the HOUSE ITS ( DARKIE )
THE ONE WITH THE WHITE WIG .
If he doesn’t pay on time put a bench warrant out for him for disobedience to a court order. The esteem is too powerful. Please leave the Esteem and Honourable alone . He is creating jobs but for the lawyers.
It is the Premier who should voluntarily step down,in my opinion.
