Geoff Bramwell is from Vancouver, BC and is nothing more than a rival developer with a big chip on his shoulder. His development borders Isla Mariana Beachfront Retreat and is called Tamarindo Beach and Ocean Estates and Suenos Developments. Geoff has lied about his name and he’s lied about where he lives and the lies don’t stop there. What you’re seeing reflected in his post and emails is an increasingly desperate man who is trying to mask the truths of his desperation.
Geoff Bramwell is a former associate of Nicaragua Developments S.A. (ND) jealous of an enterprise that created success rapidly. In 2005, Geoff Bramwell negotiated secretly to purchase land through a Nicaraguan attorney in the amount of USD $1,200,000 that was under contract to ND for half the price. Geoff Bramwell brought in his brother John Bramwell and they formed an anonymous company (Toucan Properties S.A.) in order to conceal who was purchasing the land and made deposits to the Vendor in a Panamanian bank account on October 17, 2005 in the amount of USD $30,000 and November 2, 2005 in the amount of USD $350,000 for the purchase of the land and carry the balance owed on a mortgage to the Vendor.
In 2006, Geoff Bramwell and his brother John Bramwell then proceeded to purchase another title what is known as an Agrarian Title with with 275 Manzanas (473 Acres). Had they done their due diligence, they would have known it was a fake.

Agrarian Title Rejected Title Insurance
The law firm of Garcia & Bodan and First American Title Insurance Company, which are independent, professional third-party sources, have come to the same conclusion that we reached some time ago. On June 8, 2007, First American rendered a decision stating the Agrarian title does not have sufficient evidence to be valid for title insurance.
Highlights of the meeting include the following:
• The Agrarian Reform 275 Title is not valid for title insurance.
• Any deeds written from the Agrarian 275 Title are not insurable.
• There is no letter from Intendencia, the only governmental office of Nicaragua with the official right to recognize the title.
• Any proof of the title being registered in the Municipality of Leon is not sufficient to prove title is valid and insurable.The Municipality does not have the right to authenticate documents, only Intendencia does.
• There is no exact location of the Agrarian Title that specifically places the title in one location.
• Inconsistencies in the borders exist between what is written in the Agrarian Deed and what is declared on a map determining the border.
• There are other irregularities with the title that add concerns about the title.
In addition to declining to defend the Agrarian Title in court, First American has declined to issue title insurance to cover the Bramwell’s Agrarian Title. In the meeting with First American, it was stated that the Agrarian Title did not have enough evidence to be declared valid for title insurance at this time considering the evidence presented.
However, I should warn everyone that it was mentioned in the meeting that if the Bramwell’s can somehow find a document from the Intendencia Office stating the Agrarian Title is real, First American might reconsider the Agrarian Title. But this is if, and only if, some of the other questionable issues pertaining to the title could be overcome.
This gives strong incentive to the Bramwell’s to produce a document to that effect – though considering the impact the document would have, one would expect that if it existed, it would have been produced long ago. As we have stated previously, without the Agrarian Title the Bramwell’s are left with very little.
It remains to be seen what course of action they will pursue in light of this ruling. It is worth noting that the file is well documented with specific notes that indicate the Agrarian title was not issued and is not part of the correct chain of Agrarian titles given affecting the area.
In addition to declaring the Agrarian title non-valid for insurance, First American has restated their position about our current title. They believe the land belongs to the state. Because of the opposition from the Bramwell’s and other factors, First American currently does not feel it is worth going to court.
The trouble did not end here. The Bramwells continued to sell the Undivided invalid Agrarian Title and were challenged by one of their clients when title and title insurance could not be delivered. Read below:
Schwarzinger v. Geoff and John Bramwell (Judgment against Geoff and John Bramwell)
The plaintiffs’ (Schwarzinger) claim is for damages arising from breach of contract, deceit, fraud, and fraudulent and/or negligent misrepresentations in relation to land at Tamarindo Beach and Ocean Estates and Los Suenos Island Resort that the Bramwell defendants were selling on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua.
Download Judgment Against Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd, Lighthouse Enterprises Ltd., formerly known as Brammy Bros. Properties Ltd.
We’ve have been acting in good faith throughout the difficult process of development at Isla Mariana. When a problem was discovered, we were adamant about not exposing future owners to risk. We have been diligently trying to resolve the matter, while simultaneously contending with multiple difficulties and delay tactics generated by the Bramwells.
If Geoff and John Bramwell could find a way to make their Agrarian Title legitimate they stand to earn millions, if not tens of millions of dollars in profit from their development. There seems to be one major hurdle standing in their way. As you may have guessed, based on the venom they’ve been aiming in our direction, that hurdle would be the truth. They don’t care for Grupo Mariana, Kevin Fleming and Maria Rueda because we’re standing in the way of their duplicity.
As you know, the obstructionist behavior displayed by the Bramwells has made moving forward in a positive manner difficult. However, with their Agrarian Title finally and thoroughly discredited we are now free to proceed forward. We are pleased to announce as a result of due diligence and hard work, Isla Mariana Beachfront Retreat is firmly on track and stronger than ever. While the operations of many other developers in the region have come to a halt for lack of permits, we remain on-track and steadfastly moving forward.
Potential buyers are wise to ask Geoff and John Bramwell, which title they are currently attempting to sell properties in Nicaragua at Tamarindo Beach and Ocean Estates. Is it the discredited Undivided 275 Manzana Agrarian Title or the original title purchased from the Vendor and paid USD $1,2000,000.
As we have mentioned, the Bramwells had no option but to fight because they were aware that without the Agrarian Title they would have nothing. We were standing in their way and thus they had strong incentive to attempt to sully our character. Any emails or messages received from them are more readily understood when viewed from that vantage point.
We apologize that the issue of the Bramwell’s continues to resurface. Because of the unpleasantness, we have often chosen to turn the other cheek. However, there comes a point when an organization reaches its limit and is compelled to set the record straight.
We believe that providing accurate, current and compelling information is the most important thing we can do. It’s no secret we believe strongly in the future of Nicaragua, and that this future can pay remarkable dividends for adventurous, intelligent individuals who know how to collect the facts, analyze them and make decisions.

British Columbia Supreme Court Grants Kevin Fleming Permission for “Alternative Service” against Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd. and Brammy Bros. Painting & Restoration Ltd.
AUTHOR: Kevin Fleming - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 29, 2014
On Tuesday, December 16, 2014, the Plaintiff Kevin Fleming made an application for alternative method of service brought without notice to the presiding master at the courthouse at The Law Courts at 651 Carnarvan Street in the City of New Westminster, in the Province of British Columbia to serve the notice of civil claim filed on November 4, 2014 in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on the Defendants Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd. and Brammy Bros. Painting & Restoration Ltd., collectively referred below as the (“Bramwell Defendants”).
The Fleming lawsuit alleges defamation against Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd., Brammy Bros. Painting & Restoration Ltd., Edward Albert Cole, Taylor Collings, David Crowe, Darrell Bushnell, Federico Gurdian Sacasa and 26 John Doe individuals who have published lies over email and the Internet, following the termination of Agreements with Wyndham Hotel Group and Golf Design Agreement with Nicklaus Design.
In an Affidavit of Attempted Service filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the process server from Rapid Taggers attended the work address of the Bramwell Defendants on November 6, 2014 and left a message with the receptionist. On the same day, the process server received a message from Geoff Bramwell stating he was out of town and to return the next week.
On November 10th and 12th, 2014, the process server returned to the work address of the Bramwell Defendants and was only able to leave a message on the intercom. On November 12th, 2014, the process server left a voice mail message for John Bramwell. On November 18, 2014, the process server attempted to serve John Bramwell at a known residential address but was unsuccessful. As of December 1, 2014, no return phone calls from the Bramwell Defendants were received from the process server and it’s the process servers belief that the Bramwell Defendants are evading service.
Rule 4-4 in the Supreme Court of British Columbia permits substituted service in two distinct circumstances: 1) where it is impracticable to serve the person by personal service; and b) where the person to be served cannot be found after a diligent search or is evading service.
Upon hearing Fleming, and on the reading the sworn Affidavits #3, #4 and #5 of Kevin Fleming, the court ordered that Fleming may serve the notice of civil claim by alternative method upon the Bramwell Defendants by posting a copy of the notice of civil claim and the court order at the Bramwell Defendants work address on the rear entrance door of 1332 Franklin Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, and such service shall be deemed to be good service upon the Bramwell Defendants.
In addition, the time within the Bramwell Defendants may file a response to the notice of civil claim be 21 days after the completion of service. Fleming says, “the alternative service message proposed offers a clear statement of the significance of the notice of civil claim”.
“I will continue to defend my reputation and hold the Defendants to account for their irresponsible publishing of defamatory statements that has deeply hurt me and my family and I welcome the opportunity to meet the Defendants in the courtroom to address their negligent behavior”, says Kevin Fleming.

British Columbia Supreme Court Grants Kevin Fleming Permission to Serve Defendants Online
AUTHOR: Kevin Fleming - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 22, 2014
On December 15, 2014, the Supreme Court of British Columbia allowed legal notice to be served by private messages on online forums and sent via email to 26 anonymous individuals advising them that they are being sued in the Kevin Fleming defamation case.
Fleming, who filed a defamation lawsuit seeking damages on November 4, 2014, says in the lawsuit that online comments that imply he was acting in fraudulent manner and unethical are untrue.
Fleming does not know who the John Doe Defendants are or where they are located, and there is no cost-effective means of discovering this information. The only readily apparent means of finding out would be to seek production orders against the various Internet service providers.
Even if such orders were granted and obeyed, they would only yield e-mail addresses, service on which would essentially be no different than that under the proposed order. A court permits alternative (“substituted”) forms of legal service when the usual method of hiring a detective or a process server is “impracticable” or when a defendant is evading service.
With the success of the recent motion, defendants such as “Seaside Mariana Investors Union”, “Isla Mariana Investors Union” and “NicaHeat” will be forced into a tricky choice between fighting the lawsuit, and thus exposing themselves to a verdict, or laying low and allowing a default judgment to be entered against them, thus exposing themselves to the risk of being identified and penalized later without any chance of a defense.
Under most circumstances, when a person does not file a statement of defense within a given time, the suing party is entitled to a default judgment, which can result in the collecting of compensation from the defendants.
Fleming believes being able to serve legal notice over the Internet is a way for the law to catch up to social media and the judgment means he does not have to serve the defendants in person. This is not unprecedented; there are other cases of hard-to-identify people being notified through Facebook and Twitter that they have been sued.
According to Fleming, “it is important that this defamation lawsuit is seen to the end where judgment is granted in order that individuals would not have to endure these types of hate-filled campaigns, personal attacks and vicious lies.”

Kevin Fleming Defamation Lawsuit Filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia; Canada
AUTHOR: Kevin Fleming - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 22, 2014
Editors Note: We invite all media to contact Kevin Fleming directly at (((phone number redacted))) or (((email redacted))).
Kevin I. Fleming, Chairman of Grupo Mariana has filed a lawsuit on November 4, 2014 in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, alleging defamation against Geoff Bramwell, John Bramwell, Nica Projects Ltd., Brammy Bros. Painting & Restoration Ltd., Edward Albert Cole, Taylor Collings, David Crowe, Darrell Bushnell, Federico Gurdian Sacasa and 26 John Doe individuals who have published lies over email and the Internet, following the termination of Agreements with Wyndham Hotel Group and Golf Design Agreement with Nicklaus Design.
As the Chairman of Grupo Mariana, I have been in the public eye for a number of years and as everyone knows, I’ve never been shy about expressing my opinions on various real estate development matters in Nicaragua.
I have no issue with people disagreeing with my views on real estate development matters. I also have no issue with people expressing their opinions about my decisions as Chairman of Grupo Mariana. I consider that to be part of the job. But when people make up lies that hurt my family and the families of others it is no longer part of the job.
The Internet has provided a great opportunity for the expression of opinions, and has mostly been positive for promoting real estate. Unfortunately it also allows a small minority of individuals to create false stories about people and circulate them to a wider group. This is not just happening with public personalities -it has also given rise to cyber-bullying.
There are lies being spread on the Internet that I have committed a fraud. These lies have harmed my family and Owners and Promissory Purchasers in the beachfront communities of Isla Mariana and Seaside Mariana in Nicaragua. I’m not going to simply accept it and move on.
It is hard to stop the people who publish lies on the Internet. Many postings are made under pseudonyms and it is expensive to take legal action to find the perpetrators. Most people are left with no alternative but to accept what happens and move on.
I have decided that it is time to stop people who post comments on the Internet from thinking they can fabricate wild stories with impunity. I’m determined to find the authors of the lies and those who have circulated the lies.
I’m pursuing them in court and will obtain orders compelling them to pay damages for their illegal actions. I will force everyone who has failed to take down these lies from their websites to do so and to pay damages for not taking them down when I asked them to.
I’m not going to be deterred by the difficulty in finding these people and the cost involved. I want to send the message that if you spread untruths on the Internet, you are going to be held accountable.
