The Barbuda Council is inviting residents and members of the public to engage directly with the ongoing legal cases affecting Barbuda, announcing a community legal update meeting where questions about the active court cases can be raised — and answered.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Holy Trinity Primary School in Codrington, and will be streamed live on The Barbuda Channel for those unable to attend in person.
Submit Your Questions Now
Members of the public who have questions about the legal cases affecting Barbuda are being asked to submit them in advance to the Global Legal Action Network at communications@glanlaw.org by 12 noon on Wednesday, June 24. The Council and GLAN have assured that all submitted questions will be treated in strict confidence and raised anonymously during the meeting — meaning residents can seek answers without fear of identification.
There will also be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions directly during the meeting itself.
Why This Meeting Matters
The legal update comes at a critical juncture in the long-running dispute over Barbuda's communal land. A little more than a week ago, the Barbuda Council issued a forceful press release rejecting the central government's plans to establish a land registry and begin selling land on the sister isle — describing Cabinet's announcements as designed to "mislead and manufacture consent" for a luxury real estate market that the Barbuda Council says does not legally exist.
