This is quite interesting and is the kind of thing that the Caribbean Business Digest is aimed at addressing. I agree that there seems to be some simple steps that could be taken (due diligence and not just taking verbal assurances) but often time ignorance is rampant.
This should make for an interesting piece. I will try to do this in a case study format and see if business leaders within our community can comment on where mistakes were and possibly what can be done. If the couple would agree I would inteview them further to see if they would consent to a story.
