That's incorrect. Go read the quote again. Barrow is stating he argued in the original case that the contract could not be quashed and thus Justice Legall did not quash them. The reason the GOB is in court now is to lift the injunction which they believe prevents the GOB from monitoring/supervising drilling operations. I understand others may read the original ruling differently, but to reiterate my previous post, the only interpretation of that ruling that matters is the opinion of the GOB since they are responsible for its enforcement. As far as the GOB is concerned, all of the contracts still exist. Barrow could not have stated that any more plainly.

Here it is again:
"Legally, a judge can order the quashing of a decision, to order the quashing of a contract which is between two parties and based on contract law is a rather different thing. I argued before Justice Legall that he could not quash the contract, while there are some expressions in his judgment that might indicate that he does not or did not fully agree, he refused to quash the contract. Therefore the contract still exists; if the contract still exists because it is unquashed then it is enforceable as between the contract holder and the Government of Belize.” - Denys Barrow, Lead Council, Government of Belize, 6/11/2013
