 Details of the largest Crown land transfer ever — more than 1,000 acres on Middle Caicos — may be forthcoming within the next two months, according to a press statement today (Oct. 14) from the governor. “The Civil Recovery Team is well advanced in their enquiries and are currently awaiting responses to further questions which have been sent to certain parties,” the statement said. “It is hoped that those parties will cooperate voluntarily in providing answers to the remaining questions.” The land transfer occurred on Valentine’s Day 2008, when Juniper Hole Development Ltd. was granted freehold title to more than 1,000 acres. The property stretches from the Blue Horizon Resort at Mudjin Harbour Point to the northwestern tip of the island at Juniper Hole, including part of the National Trust’s Middle Caicos Crossing Place Trail. The trust was supposed to receive a 138-acre coastal corridor that passes though the property in question. The Civil Recovery Team consists of lawyers from a large London law firm hired to investigate allegations made in Sir Robin Auld’s Commission of Inquiry report in July 2009 and other matters. The Juniper Hole transaction was not mentioned in the report, but the team has been looking into it since early summer in an attempt to answer “press speculation” about the terms of the sale and current owners.
