Defamation Lawsuit against Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd. and Brammy Bros. Painting & Restoration Ltd. in the Supreme Court of British Columbia; Canada
Kevin I. Fleming, Chairman of Grupo Mariana has filed a lawsuit file #165789 on November 4, 2014 in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, alleging defamation against Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd., Brammy Bros. Painting & Restoration Ltd., Edward Albert Cole, Taylor Collings, David Crowe, Darrell Bushnell, Federico Gurdian Sacasa and 26 John Doe individuals who have published lies over email and the Internet, following the termination of Agreements with Wyndham Hotel Group and Golf Design Agreement with Nicklaus Design.
As the Chairman of Grupo Mariana, I have been in the public eye for a number of years and as everyone knows, I’ve never been shy about expressing my opinions on various real estate development matters in Nicaragua.
I have no issue with people disagreeing with my views on real estate development matters. I also have no issue with people expressing their opinions about my decisions as Chairman of Grupo Mariana. I consider that to be part of the job. But when people make up lies that hurt my family and the families of others it is no longer part of the job.
The Internet has provided a great opportunity for the expression of opinions, and has mostly been positive for promoting real estate. Unfortunately it also allows a small minority of individuals to create false stories about people and circulate them to a wider group. This is not just happening with public personalities -it has also given rise to cyber-bullying.
There are lies being spread on the Internet that I have committed a fraud. These lies have harmed my family and Owners and Promissory Purchasers in the beachfront communities of Isla Mariana and Seaside Mariana in Nicaragua. I’m not going to simply accept it and move on.
It is hard to stop the people who publish lies on the Internet. Many postings are made under pseudonyms and it is expensive to take legal action to find the perpetrators. Most people are left with no alternative but to accept what happens and move on.
I have decided that it is time to stop people who post comments on the Internet from thinking they can fabricate wild stories with impunity. I’m determined to find the authors of the lies and those who have circulated the lies.
I’m pursuing them in court and will obtain orders compelling them to pay damages for their illegal actions. I will force everyone who has failed to take down these lies from their websites to do so and to pay damages for not taking them down when I asked them to.
I’m not going to be deterred by the difficulty in finding these people and the cost involved. I want to send the message that if you spread untruths on the Internet, you are going to be held accountable.
In may of 2008, i visited Nicaragua to buy property. i meet with 3 different people and visited 3 different places to buy property. john bramwell was the developer and rep. for Los Suenos, Tamarindo Beach and ocean estates. he showed me the property the development plans what they had done on the Island etc. 2 days later we went to his office to sign a contract meet with a lawyer that was to have power of attorney to close on the property. i paid half the cost then and the last half at the end of August in 2008, through a wire transfer to the company El Faro. i never received word from Mr. Bramwell or the Lawyer i emailed and telephoned before reaching John Bramwell. he stated everything will be ready when you arrive in November. i tried to call Bramwell once in Managua with no return call from him for several days.
finally, we meet in January of 2009. we drove to the property at which time he stated we didn't send the title because we are not putting in the infrastructure to you lot. then showed me other lots and told me he would work up the plot plans and have them for me in 1 to days. the lot we settled on is on the north end of the Island development called Isle de Marianna. one week later i had not heard from him so i called and sent an email his reply we are working on the plot plans we will have it in another week. one week passed and nothing from him ie no email no phone call. at this time i called and left a message i would go to Leon and find a lawer to help me with this problem i am having with you. the lawyer and i started working on this we drove to Managua to where farco and bramwell's office use to be but no longer was. we went back to Leon contacted the police and district attorneys office ( not called district attorneys in Nicaragua).
i finally reached Bramwell by email and told him i want my money his reply was i am working on the plot plan for the lot but if you don't want it then be ready for a fight. i have all of the email from january of 2008 to the present from this person the lawyer he provided for me and all of the paper transaction. i am trying to find people that would like to join in a class action suit
