Members of the  Hawksbill Creek Review Committee were in Supreme Court in Freeport on Friday to hear arguments set forth by the Grand Bahama Port Authority and the Licensees of the GBPA dealing with obtaining copies of the McKinsey Report.

The government appointed the committee to meet and negotiate with representatives of the Grand Bahama Port Authority, investors, relevant public, private sector and community interests, so as to recommend to the government arrangements for securing both an economic package to promote more robust sustained growth, and a fiscal package that enhances Grand Bahama's contribution to the government's revenue base.

During the proceedings on Friday, Justice Petra Hanna-Weeks gave a ruling permitting members of the Committee to continue with their consultations. The injunction filed was quashed. The parties will return to court on October, 5, 2015.
