Candacie Williams looks at the land where the place she called home for all her life once stood.

The first of what is expected to be a series of legal actions filed by squatters of CaneView/Mocha,  whose houses were demolished by the Ministry of Housing and Water, is set for hearing in early October before the Chief Justice.

Displaced residents Mark Gordon, his partner Shenika Simpson, and her mother Lucrecia George are seeking more than $200,000,000 in damages; seeking various orders against the government for the destruction of their homes and personal property.

Their case comes up for hearing before acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC on October 9th.
