PS O’Neal-Morton files Constitutional Motion against Governor & others
There was no relationship between Mr Fahie’s legal struggles in the United States and Dr O’neal-Morton being sent on leave.
It was alleged that she was not cooperating with the Auditor General, which Ms O’Neal refuted.
Dr O’Neal-Morton alleges violation of her rights
Dr O’Neal-Morton then hired high-powered attorney and former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the Virgin Islands, Mr Terrence F. Williams, to file a Constitutional Motion about six to nine months ago for sending her home without proper reason and the violation of her human and civil rights as guaranteed in the Constitution of the Virgin Islands.
The hearing was held yesterday, November 20, 2023, in the High Court where the Attorney General filed a Motion to strike out the Constitutional Motion brought by Dr Oneal-Moton through her attorney.
Judge’s decision pending
Judge Sonya Young did not agree yesterday to strike out the motion but said she would come back with a judgment on December 20, 2023.
Efforts to reach Mr Williams for comment proved futile.
The Governor and others have been flooded with lawsuits following the one-man Commission of Inquiry Report by a UK Commissioner hand-picked by former Governor Augustus J.U. Jaspert.
Following the CoI, many public officers were accused of Breach of Trust but no concrete evidence was presented.
Many of them were sent on leave and they have been suing the Governor, along with the Public Service Commission, and the Director of Human Resources for violation of their rights and mistreatment.
Dr O’Neal-Morton has joined a long list of others who have the Governor and others before the courts.
We will bring you more information when the judge gives her decision on December 20, 2023.

Black lives matters
I'm sure it would entertain your readers.
They came here with a bad man agenda and run into the fight of their lives
Dem people need to come out their own pockets before they go back. Ain fair to us to have to pay for outsiders incompetence is almost like them plan to broke we because the governor Issa lawyer and he would know this going happen
Next you’ll say they gave him the lasso and bull for his 20 year rodeo in the drug world he bragged about.
FYI the legal term is not lawsuit because there is no conflict. The action is simply an inquiry application.
There seems to be a number of cases filed against Governor John. Rankin, CMG, and pending. The Governor is winging off soon into retirement. Consequently, if the courts ruled against the Governor and if monetary judgement is assessed, who pays , ie, BVI taxpayers or the UK? Is it not easy for officers to make reckless, experimental, deliberate and unnecessary risks, not sensible risks, actions, for they’ve will not be held responsible and accountable for their actions?
. It is open secret that that the UK- appointed governor can take any action(s) against locals, and local government personnel, but the ordinary local people, and government officials have no means of redressing concerns with the governor and Governor’s office. There are modes on paper , ie, FCO, but they are as useless and a waste of time as tits on a boar hog. The governor has veto power, unilateral power, reserved powers, power of assent, etc, over local actions.
It clearly shows a disregard they have for the rule of law, residents rights and due process!!! Our independence is the only way out of this oppression
It is high time somebody here face up to these crooked Governors the UK keep throwing out here to set up their prearranged Agendas.
They cant do you one damn thing.
When Attorney General ,HILTON GAYLEwas here andshe accused the then Governor of Corrupción., as he receive the Summon document, he ordered and signed her deportation papers and had her out of here immediately..
Let us see where this one thinks he could send you.
