Minister Hall advertises property for sale as she prepares to pay off dog-bite debt

Minister Hall advertises property for sale as she prepares to pay off dog-bite debt

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Minister Marion Hall caused great consternation among her fans when she advertised a long-disputed property on her Facebook profile on Thursday right after a virtual court hearing.

“I’m selling this 9 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and one powder room house in Ocho Rios. It’s no longer renting. It’s selling. For more information, leave your name and number on marionhallministry@gmail.com,” the former Queen of the Dancehall wrote in a post.

Years ago, in 2012, the Court had ordered the same property be sold for “no less than $60 million” to recover $3 million in damages to senior citizen Dorothy Wilson, a domestic worker, who had successfully sued the deejay.

Wilson, who was about 59 years old at the time of the attack, had won damages of $3 million (approximately $19,100 USD) which the Supreme Court had ordered Minister Hall to pay her.  Wilson had reportedly been mauled by Minister Hall’s dogs in September 2009 at her Chancery Hall home.

Today, the property in question has a selling price of $75 million.

A distraught Lady Saw suggested that she was being railroaded by the system.

Hall claimed that she had been overseas at the time of the 2009 canine attack. The dogs had been released from their chains when the woman said she was finished and ready to leave. According to Hall, the woman returned to the yard to retrieve something, when the attack happened.

“I had a passport that showed I wasn’t in Jamaica for like six months. When I heard, you know, I was ready to help,” an upset Minister Hall ranted online.

She suggested that God will judge the situation in the end.

Wilson, the domestic worker, was said to be hospitalised for five weeks. Court documents suggested that Wilson was mauled by the dogs, three of which were pit bulls, who attacked, ripping off a chunk of flesh from one of her legs and eating it.

However, Minister Hall believes that it is she who has been wronged.

“I hope you can live with your conscience… That day when we stand before God and God says ‘Why did you lie on her? Why did you do such evil to her? Why did you tarnish her name over a lie?’ I hope you will have the right answer,” Minister Hall said.

Wilson had said in the court documents that she had worked with Hall for about 15 years, however, Hall’s sister said that she was the one who had hired the senior citizen to do housework at the home.

Justice Leighton Pusey awarded the senior citizen the sum of $1.5 million with interest, during an assessment of damages hearing in the Supreme Court in Kingston in October 2012.

In 2013, Hall attempted to overturn the default judgement in the Court of Appeal on the grounds that she had not been served with documents.

There was an assessment of damages in October 2015 and Wilson was awarded a total of $3 million with interest.  Hall was not present at the hearing, nor was she represented.
