With only the bare information supplied here, it appears the complainant, St. James Club, has a prima facie case and the burden is on the operators, Landmark Events Limited. But my patriotic instincts prompt me to ask: where do we draw the line between the enduring tension between hotel operators and Saint Lucian residents conducting legitimate business activities to earn a livelihood, or to undertake and promote artistic endeavour on their own home (as in ‘natal’) turf? What is the greater ‘national interest’ here?

St. James Club is well within its right to seek an injunction which was influenced by guests. In simplest terms, you build your home in a “quiet” and “relaxing” part of the island and some years later a structure is built next to your home with its main purpose of hosting events, shows, etc. Now every month you have this blarring sound at all hours of the night & morning permeating through everypart of your home. How long will you be able to tolerate this? Far less a hotel who may lose out on potential guests because of this. I wonder if St. James Club had been in dialogue with Landmark Events prior to this action.
