PHILIPSBURG — A publication by the tax inspectorate in the National Gazette of September 30 has caused some confusion about the status of one of the judges that works at the Court in First Instance in Philipsburg.
The publication is a warrant from the Tax Inspectorate addressed to Cornelis Theodorus Mar Luijks, with the addition: “previously living at Madame Estate Road 2, Madama Estate, currently without known residence or whereabouts in St. Maarten or elsewhere.”
If this announcement were accurate it would pose a problem for the person in question, in this case Judge Coen Luijks, because the law stipulates that judges have to live in the place where they work.
But in this particular case, the Tax Inspectorate and Tax Bailiff Najesca Gumbs did not do their homework.
The Common Court of Justice in Curacao, when asked about the matter, confirmed that the person mentioned in the tax warrant is indeed Judge Luijks. Other than the Tax Inspectorate, the Common Court knows exactly where to find the judge.
On behalf of the court, Desi Dijkhuizen wrote to StMaartenNews.com that Luijks was appointed per August 1, 2019, as judge, stationed in St. Maarten.
“From August 1, 2019, Judge Luijks lives (again) in St. Maarten. Shortly afterwards he has registered as a resident at his current address with the Census Office. Since then he has been registered uninterruptedly at this address as a resident.”
UPDATE:
In the National Gazette of October 14, tax-bailiff Najesca Gumbs announces that the tax warrant addressed to Judge Luijks has been withdrawn.

Un début de “nouveau Front populaire”, prédit Jean-Luc Mélenchon: des milliers de personnes ont participé dimanche à Paris à une “marche contre la vie chère et l’inaction climatique” organisée par la gauche unie dans la Nupes, qui veut contribuer à l’ébullition sociale de l’automne.
“C’est la grande conjonction, c’est nous qui la commençons avec cette marche qui est un immense succès”, s’est félicité le leader de LFI Jean-Luc Mélenchon sur un camion au milieu de la foule, en annonçant “la construction d’un nouveau Front populaire qui exercera le pouvoir dans le pays le moment venu”.
Avec cette marche, l’ancien candidat à la présidentielle a estimé “avoir le point” face à Emmanuel Macron qu’il juge “à bout de souffle”, avant un acte II de la mobilisation mardi à l’appel de la CGT et de plusieurs syndicats.
Le ministre des Comptes publics Gabriel Attal a lui fustigé “une marche des partisans du blocage du pays”.
Sur TF1 dans la soirée, la Première ministre Elisabeth Borne n’a pas commenté la manifestation. Mais elle a tenté de désamorcer par avance toute contagion: “Je le dis clairement, toutes les entreprises qui le peuvent doivent ouvrir des négociations et augmenter les salaires, répondre à l’attente des salariés”.
Selon LFI, ils étaient 140.000 participants dimanche, mais seulement 30.000 selon une source policière et 29.500 selon un comptage réalisé du cabinet Occurrence pour un collectif de médias, dont l’AFP.
“Nous avons d’ores et déjà réussi notre pari. Ce n’est qu’un début”, s’est réjouie la députée LFI Aurélie Trouvé, cheville ouvrière de la marche pour laquelle une centaine de bus avaient été affrétés de toute la France.
“Le message est simple: nous voulons un meilleur partage des richesses”, a lancé le numéro un du PS Olivier Faure lors de ce “meeting en marchant”.
Pour Christopher Savidan, militant LFI de 47 ans, au chômage depuis cinq ans, “il est temps de se réveiller”: “Les gens en haut sont hors sol” et “la logique veut que toutes les luttes s’agglomèrent”.
Au milieu des drapeaux, toute la gauche était représentée, des députés LFI Manuel Bompard et Clémentine Autain aux écologistes Sandrine Rousseau et Eric Piolle, en passant par Philippe Poutou (NPA). Le poing levé, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, cravate rouge et cocarde tricolore au revers de la veste, est arrivé au côté de la Prix Nobel de Littérature Annie Ernaux.
“Canicule sociale, le peuple a soif de justice”, pouvait-on lire sur une pancarte brandie près de la place de la Nation. Une autre avertissait: “La retraite c’est bien, l’offensive c’est mieux”.
De nombreux “gilets jaunes” mais aussi beaucoup de retraités étaient visibles dans un défilé coloré avec quelques bonnets phrygiens, et ponctué par des chants ou même la musique de Star Wars.
– “le peuple a faim” –
“Les élus doivent se mettre au service du peuple qui a faim”, a plaidé Jérôme Rodrigues, figure emblématique des “gilets jaunes”.
Le cortège a avancé par à-coups avant d’atteindre Bastille. Quelques lacrymogènes ont été lancés par des CRS en marge du défilé en milieu d’après-midi, après des jets de projectiles en leur direction, a constaté une journaliste de l’AFP. Les forces de l’ordre ont procédé à plusieurs charges. Une agence de la Société générale a également été saccagée par des hommes vêtus de noir et masqués, près du square Trousseau.
De source policière, plusieurs tentatives de dégradations d’enseignes commerciales (Afflelou, McDonald’s) ou d’établissements bancaires (BNP) ont été “empêchées par les interventions des policiers de la préfecture de police, les BRAV”, brigades de répression de l’action violente.
Les services de police nourrissaient de “vraies craintes” face “à la venue de personnes violentes de l’ultra gauche, des ultra gilets-jaunes qui voudraient perturber la manifestation”.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, qui avait déjà fait défiler au printemps dernier 100.000 personnes selon LFI, avait lancé cette idée de marche dès juillet en estimant que la gauche devait impulser la contestation sociale contre le gouvernement en s’associant avec les syndicats, mais ceux-ci ne l’ont pas attendu pour faire monter la température.
La marche survient en pleine grève dans les raffineries de TotalEnergies qui entraîne des pénuries de carburant. Et après la mobilisation du 29 septembre, une autre journée interprofessionnelle a été lancée pour mardi par la CGT, avec FO, Solidaires, FSU ainsi que des mouvements de jeunesse.
Le patron de la puissante confédération, Philippe Martinez, goûte peu l’initiative de la gauche: “Les syndicats doivent être soutenus et on ne doit pas faire les choses en parallèle”, a-t-il confié vendredi.
“La puissance de notre marche est un appui à la mobilisation des salariés, notamment celle qui va avoir lieu” mardi, et “il faut penser tout ça comme un tout, qui s’entre-épaule, qui s’entraide”, a répondu dimanche Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Pour Jacques Montal, cheminot retraité venu du Lot, “les réquisitions des raffineries ça va très loin” et “c’est fort possible que (le mouvement) se poursuive après mardi”.
Si la coalition de la Nupes, ébranlée par les affaires Quatennens et Bayou, continue de connaître quelques dissensions, ses composantes (LFI, le PS, EELV et le PCF) ont toutes défilé dans le cortège, même si le patron du PCF Fabien Roussel et l’ex-candidat écologiste à la présidentielle Yannick Jadot, avaient mieux à faire.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Mohamed Salah ended Manchester City’s unbeaten start to the season with his second-half goal securing a 1-0 win for Liverpool against the defending Premier League champion on Sunday.
On a dramatic day at Anfield, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was sent off for furiously running out of his technical area, while City coach Pep Guardiola angrily remonstrated with the home fans after seeing Phil Foden’s goal ruled out by VAR.
Salah — who scored the fastest Champions League hat trick in history against Rangers on Wednesday — provided the decisive moment in the 76th minute after Alisson’s clever long clearance landed straight at his feet.
Racing clear, Salah swept a shot past Ederson to fire Liverpool ahead.
Just minutes earlier, the forward thought he was about to be substituted when his number was erroneously raised as Klopp prepared to make changes.
Defeat for City leaves Guardiola’s team four points behind leader Arsenal, which won 1-0 at Leeds earlier in the day.
Victory provides hope for Liverpool that they can recover from an unconvincing start to the season, which left then 13 points adrift of City before kickoff.
Despite Liverpool’s struggles so far this term, this still felt like a meeting of the Premier League’s elite after the two teams’ dominance in recent years.
That was underlined by an even first half, with both having chances to take the lead.
Andy Robertson fired Liverpool’s best chance over, while Erling Haaland forced two saves from Alisson and might have done better with at least one close range header.
The game burst into life after the interval when Salah raced through on goal and looked certain to score.
But the Egyptian’s effort went wide of the post, with replays later showing Ederson had provided a crucial touch.
That went unnoticed by the officials and City restarted the play with a goal kick, from which Foden eventually found the back of the net.
With the visiting fans rejoicing, VAR invited referee Anthony Taylor to review the incident on the pitch-side monitor.
Walking past a furious Guardiola, who remonstrated wildly, Taylor ruled the goal out for a foul on Fabinho in the buildup.
City’s manager was furious, repeatedly turning to the Anfield fans behind the dugout to gesticulate.
The crowd delighted in his anger and erupted shortly after when Salah fired Liverpool in front.
When Alisson collected an inaccurate free kick from Kevin de Bruyne, the goalkeeper then launched a kick downfield to perfectly pick out his teammate.
This time Salah made no mistake with his finish.
There was still time for more drama when Klopp raced out of his technical area to appeal a decision, leading to him receiving a red card.
Substitute Darwin Nunez might also have doubled Liverpool’s lead when making a mess of a late chance with only Ederson to beat.

With the aim of strengthening the employability of teen mothers in today’s digitally-driven world, Sandals Foundation recently handed over a newly outfitted computer laboratory to the Women’s Centre Foundation of Jamaica’s Montego Bay branch.
The computer lab is to serve some 25 teen mothers, as well as the Lucea branch community improving digital capacity of the young women, and allowing for their National Standard Curriculum (NSC) and Caribbean Secondary Examination Council (CSEC) certification in Information Technology in order to improve their employability.
Valued at approximately $1.5 million, upgrades at the lab included provision of six computers and desks, electrical upgrades and surge protector, AC servicing and painting of the facility.
Judian Scott, Manager of the Montego Bay Women’s Centre, was effusive in her praise for the assistance that was given by Sandals Foundation, saying it will advance the centre’s future plans.
“We are planning to offer a new skill, which is customer service, and so the computer lab will assist the young women to become employable in the BPO sector,” she observed.
“Because of these donations, the girls will be able to upskill and become better citizens in the society,” Scott added.
Over the years, Sandals Foundation has donated a number of lap tops computers, as well as fully outfitted the Cosmetology Lab used by students to sit the CSEC exams, and allowing participants to do their practical sessions, respectively. The improvements have resulted in many students achieving full certification in their fields of study.
“Some of our girls were successful in as many as seven CSEC subjects,” Scott gushed.

In expressing gratitude, Director of Field Operations at the Women’s Centre, Beverly Martin-Berry, said: “On behalf of Sports and Culture Minister Olivia Grange and the board of management, staff and students, we are highly appreciative of the partnership forged, as the Sandals Foundation is always willing to step up and assist the centres island-wide.
Martin-Berry said the computer lab aligns with the effort of the Government’s vision 2030 programme which is about human capital development, by allowing the students to become information technology savvy, as well as feel empowered.
Dawn Smith, General Manager of Sandals Montego Bay, who participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony on behalf of Sandals Foundation, lauded the Women’s Centre of Jamaica for the work the organisation is doing on behalf of young pregnant teens. She affirmed a commitment of the resort “to have the young women complete their six-week work experience by becoming part of the Sandals Hospitality programme.”
Executive Director of Sandals Foundation, Heidi Clarke, said: “Sandals Foundation believes in second chances, and in using education as a vehicle for transformation, hence our longstanding support of the Women’s Centre of Jamaica.”
Clarke pointed to the foundations’ 40 for 40 Initiative which offers 40 outreach transformation programmes spread across the region, noting that the support to the computer lab firmly aligns with empowering the Caribbean region’s most vulnerable women by ensuring they have access to the resources they need to further their education and skills development.

Police detectives have charged the man who is suspected of fatally stabbing his sister at a house they shared in Content Gardens, Ocho Rios, St Ann earlier this month.
Norman Campbell, 45, was last week charged with the murder of 52-year-old pastor, Michelle Roache.
Reports are that about 11:30 pm on Tuesday, October 4, Roache was at her premises in Content Gardens when she noticed that the lights to the outside of her house were turned off.
Police said the religious leader went to make some checks and that was when she was attacked and stabbed several times and her throat was slashed.
The injured woman was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Campbell was fingered as the attacker and he was arrested, and has subsequently been charged.
A court date for the accused is being finalised, the police said.
