Developers behind a company that illegally built two seawalls on Crown land, despite receiving a cease-and-desist order, will have to wait several weeks to learn the Summary Court’s decision after an initial sentencing hearing was postponed.

The company in question is Baer Development Ltd., which constructed the Allure residences on the seaside of Tropical Gardens in George Town.

In a judgment dated 25 Aug., Magistrate Philippa McFarlane returned a guilty verdict against the company on all four charges – injuring, mutilating or displacing any underwater plant growth; extracting sand, gravel, pebbles, stone coral or other such material; and two counts of failing to comply with a cease-and-desist order.
