<p><strong>Today’s intent to apply for a committal became necessary when Antonio Novelo was also unable to pay the fifteen hundred dollars a month ordered in 2013.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Nazira Miles, Attorney for Development Finance Corporation</strong></p>
<p><em>“Since February of 2014 no payment has been made, and therefore we are once again taking the step for a next committal application and that’s where we presently are.”</em></p>

<p>“I understand that there was supposed to be a hearing this morning. What happened to that hearing?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Nazira Miles </strong></p>
<p><em>“We filed the committal application in December of 2014. Once the Court had asked for an adjournment, and we today had to ask for an adjournment because we can’t locate him to serve him with the document.”</em></p>

<p>“What happens now? Does the DFC actively seek Mr. Novelo so that they can present him with the documents to appear in Court?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Nazira Miles </strong></p>
<p><em>“Well we will make effort now to get in touch with Mr. Hubert Elrington to see if he still represents them. What would happen with the application is that he is in arrears for about fifteen thousand that he hasn’t paid on the order. He can come up front and pay that fifteen thousand and seek DFC’s indulgence as to continue paying the fifteen hundred or we re-examine him. In default of payment then he can be imprisoned for a period of time determined by the judge.”</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>According to Miles, they have actively sought payment from the Novelo family on numerous occasions even before the 2012 order to pay one hundred dollars a month. She says prior to that order the Court had determined that the Novelos did not have the means to make any payments at all.</strong></p>
