Bahamas court tosses US couple's Sandals assault suit on statute of limitations

The Bahamas Supreme Court dismissed a US couple's lawsuit against Sandals Royal Bahamian alleging sexual assault by a butler, ruling the claim was filed after the statutory deadline. The ruling turns on procedural timing rather than the merits of the allegation, leaving the underlying claim unadjudicated. This is a notable legal precedent for foreign plaintiffs pursuing tort claims in Bahamian courts.
