Hello again all,

Just a few points for further clarification. TOCA has 2 petitions percolating before the SXM court system. The injunction petition, heard and "won" by TOCA last week addresses the issues of the ongoing denial of access to our units & requests damages caused by this continuing denial (alternate accommodation/lodging costs, legal fees, etc.). Last weeks "win", if not appealed by Alegria, must grant us immediate access to our units UNTIL our merits petition (the main case) is heard before the court in early 2016. The TOCA membership fully understands the consequences/ramifications of returning to a resort where we are not welcome and social media sites have already informed audiences that current "winners" (Marty & the Dream Bar) continue to be harassed. As well, it is reported that owners in the A building (not timeshare owners) have received notice by Alegria that their fees will be substantially increased. All of these serious concerns have been expressed by our membership as we move towards the main case procedure & are clearly addressed/dealt with in the upcoming main case. In the meantime, we wait to hear if Alegria will appeal the decision and the Board will formulate a plan of action, in collaboration with our attorneys, to grant our owners access to their units as per the injunction ruling. Even in the event of an appeal by Alegria, the injunction ruling must stand (or Alegria faces hefty fines for its violation) until their appeal is heard before the court.

Regards,
Carol Anne Lee-Desmarais
