Contractor overturns $520k ruling despite admitting work ‘breaches’

A Bahamian contractor has successfully overturned a $520,000 default judgment despite admitting he “breached the agreement to complete certain works” at a high-end West Bay Street property. Hugh Gordon Cash, trading as North Eleuthera Builders, persuaded acting Supreme Court registrar, Renaldo Toote, that there was an “irregularity” in how Jon and Valentina Snell obtained the April 19, 2023, judgment against him in a dispute over “incomplete and defective” renovations to 955 West Bay Street.
