Service on Jamale Pringle — Actual Notice Evidence

The consolidated filings include evidence of actual notice given directly to Jamale Pringle via direct electronic communication to his active Instagram account. This evidence was placed on the record in the Supplemental Notice and is relevant to issues of service, notice, and case management.

No acknowledgment of service, defence, or jurisdictional challenge has been filed in response to this notice.

The Jurisdictional Issue

Whether the sovereign jurisdiction consistently asserted by the Government of Antigua & Barbuda under Prime Minister Gaston Browne — most visibly in the Alpha Nero matter — was fully and accurately carried into domestic proceedings when jurisdiction was challenged in Claim No. ANUHCV2025/0149.

“The issue is institutional alignment, not judicial conduct.”

Key Excerpts From the Filed Record

“Any jurisdictional analysis that fails to engage with the amended pleadings is necessarily incomplete.”

“Default and contempt cannot negate jurisdiction.”

“The Mixed Record altered the procedural frame that the Court was presented.”

Brian Stuart Young — Financial Context Within the Jurisdiction

Brian Stuart Young, a senior executive at Global Bank of Commerce (Antigua), appears within the broader financial and factual context engaged by the pleadings. His presence reflects the effects-based and territorial connections central to the matter’s jurisdictional analysis.

This coverage does not imply wrongdoing. It notes that domestic banking leadership forms part of the real economic and institutional landscape relevant to the Court’s consideration of jurisdiction.
