Record Notice (January 16, 2026):
Proceedings before the Supreme Court were formally recorded on January 16, 2026. The official court video and certified audiovisual record will be published when released by the Court, relying solely on filings, registry records, and matters stated on the record pending publication of the official footage.
On April 17, 2025, at 13:21 AST, a Statement of Claim in Case ANUHCV2025/0149 was accepted and stamped “FILED” by the Registry of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. This filing identifies a core syndicate — including notable figures such as David Boies, Gloria Allred, and major financial executives — asserting Caribbean asset jurisdiction and claiming $10 billion in damages for alleged abuse of process and conspiracy affecting Antigua & Barbuda.
Subsequently, on September 24, 2025, an Amended Statement of Claim pushed the stakes further, pleading sovereign damages exceeding $80 billion and presenting a complex framework of long-arc carbon sovereignty losses potentially reaching $400 billion. This significant alteration also expanded the defendant list to include global banking leaders and media conglomerates.
These filings represent a marked shift in the case's nature, transitioning from a regional dispute to a broader sovereign complaint with far-reaching implications. The contents of the case — sworn and accepted into the court's permanent record — signify the end of invisibility for the parties involved and place them under institutional scrutiny.
