Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
Gibraltar’s highly luxurious ‘New Aloes’ development won a number of awards at the prestigious finals of the ‘International Property Awards, held in Dubai in December 2014.
The £10.9 million house, developed by Fairhomes Ltd on the Rock was awarded ‘Best Property Single Unit Gibraltar’, ‘Best Property Single Unit Europe’, beating off Spanish and Italian competitors and, ‘Best International Property Single Unit’.
Her Majesty The Queen has been graciously pleased to approve the appointment of:
Mr Reginald Robert RHODA QC to be a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) for public services to Gibraltar and the law.
When Mr Rhoda retires in 2015 he will have served for 20 years, making him the longest serving Attorney General in Gibraltar. His time in office has seen considerable change, especially since the 2006 Constitution. During his tenure there have also been some significant legal issues and Mr Rhoda has sought to use his experience to influence judicial reforms beyond the Rock. He has been an active member of the Overseas Territories Attorneys General forum which has met regularly over the past decades. Mr Rhoda has been a keen advocate of the independence of the judiciary in Overseas Territories and has provided valuable support for his peers.
