ARGUING that he was broke and would be homeless if booted from the posh $40 million townhouse he now occupies at Armour Heights, St Andrew, former Cash Plus boss Carlos Hill was yesterday pitied by the courts and allowed - on humanitarian grounds - to remain in the house for 14 days until he secures a place to stay.

Hill had argued in vain for an application to prevent his eviction from the property which has been put up for sale, but after refusing the application, Justice Roy Anderson asked attorney Hugh Wildman - the man seeking Hill's eviction and who is the trustee in bankruptcy and provisional liquidator for Cash Plus - if he would allow Hill access to the house for humanitarian reasons.

Yesterday morning Hill and his attorney, Yvette Sterling Fajolu, took to the Supreme Court seeking the injunction in a frantic last-minute bid to prevent the forced removal after bailiffs and police officers turned up at the 94 East Armour Heights house with a truck to enforce a 30-day eviction notice issued by the court.

Fajolu argued in her failed bid for the injunction that Hill did not have the money to secure new residence and that he had security concerns as he has received several death threats.
