The Fiji Law Society has given the Chief Justice a week to withdraw the ban he placed on five lawyers from his court. The CJ, Sir Timoci Tuivaga, had banned the member s of the Fiji Law Society Council from appearing in his court. The Society has called for the CJ to resign for subverting justice in the country. The Law Society said that the if the CJ does not withdraw the ban, it will institute legal proceedings against him. Another judge, Michael Scott has also banned the lawyers. Proceedings against him are also expected to be filed if he doesn't withdraw the directive. The judges were involved in the attempts to abrogate the
Constitution. The CJ was also involved in judge shopping. |
