BASL has stressed that judicial independence must be safeguarded and protected from any form of outside threat or interference sought to be effected via social media posts, statements, commentaries or purported case outcome predictions by YouTubers. Notes offences involved ⬇️
The "cab rank rule" requires barristers to accept any case in their field, at their usual rates, regardless of a client's identity or the case's nature, unless there’s a conflict of interest, lack of expertise, or other valid exceptions. UK Bar explains ⬇️ barcouncil.org.uk/resource/cab-r…
The pledge of the Chief Justice and Supreme Court judges of India not to accept any post-retirement roles from the government is an important commitment to due protection of judicial independence and public confidence. Sri Lanka would benefit from adoption of a similar standard.
BASL has stressed that police aren't entitled to ask lawyers to disclose information shared by clients, which is covered by "professional privilege" under law and by professional ethics. Sets out why lawyers mustn't be asked to give statements on clients' professional matters ⬇️
BASL has called for responsible discourse, respect for due process and preservation of dignity when commenting on judges' conduct, in view of speculative social media posts improperly targeting judges who by the nature of their office aren't in a position to respond publicly ⬇️
UK Supreme Ct has upheld that the terms “man”, “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological sex of a person at birth and not any acquired by trans folk through Gender Recognition Certificates under the Gender Recognition Act 2004. Press summary of judgment ⬇️
The Court Reporter reports how two ex-officio Judicial Service Commission (JSC) members anonymously visited the Marawila Magistrate's Court due to allegations and complaints received against the judge to observe relevant conduct and initiated action ⬇️ thecourtreporter.lk/two-sc-judges-…
A wonderful Thomian victory indeed! But to be respected, is the bold, sporting declaration of Royal College to enable the game to have a chance of an outcome. Royal's captain too, acted in line with the exemplary heritage that's part of the Royal-Thomian. No real losers here.
BASL statement calls inter alia, for ▪︎ An immediate impartial inquiry on how 2 persons were killed at the hands of police and taking of all measures to prevent recurrence of such encounter killings and custodial deaths ▪︎ Strict action against all officers responsible ⬇️
AG's dept media release addresses misinformation on discharge of 3 suspects linked to Lasantha Wickrematunga's killing, stating inter alia, that the discharge ▪︎ Didn't pertain to the murder, but an alleged abduction 6 years after ▪︎ No bar to charges on fresh evidence ⬇️
BASL letter to Prez on reports of govt plans to review AG's decision to discharge 3 suspects in alleged abduction linked to Lasantha Wickrematunga's murder, stresses that AG must exercise prosecutorial independence, with decisions subject to judicial review but not govt review ⬇️
Warden Rev @MarcBillimoria of S. Thomas' College, Mt Lavinia highlights here, the need to take on, address and change the prevalent harmful attitude of adults to sporting "achievements" in schools. Watch from 41'50" to 58'10" (Speech begins at 34'20") ⬇️ youtube.com/live/9zzkzyUmA…
A legacy assessment of retiring Indian CJ Chandrachud, stresses that ▪︎ Judicial balancing under the guise of judicial independence is judicial blemish ▪︎ Cos miscarriages of justice in some cases can't be offset by the justice delivered in others ⬇️ livelaw.in/articles/the-m…
Mahathma Gandhi, the 'Father of India', visited Chilaw in Nov 1927 on his first and only visit to Ceylon, at the invitation of freedom fighters Charles Edgar Corea & Victor Corea (brothers). Here's an interesting documentary on several aspects of Chilaw. youtu.be/tAvSHFhd4Dc?si…
Gutted to read this from Radhya's parents. A section of society, including some parents & teachers, not only drove this child to her death but, tragically, after her death, media & content creators further trampled this girl & her family. I hope we learn from this. #LKA #SriLanka
Statement by the parents of Radhya Gunasekera on misinformation over circumstances in which her demise occurred ⬇️
Under the Constitution, upon a dissolution of P'ment by the Prez: ▪︎ The Cabinet at the point of dissolution continues till a new P'ment is elected; and ▪︎ He can't appoint anyone from outside the existing Ministers even to fill a vacancy pending election of a new P'ment ⬇️
BASL statement ▪︎ Clarifies the true position w.r.t. several misrepresentations and untruths caused to be published by Kaushalya Nawaratne PC in the press/online ▪︎ Condemns as "unfortunate and unbecoming", how he tries to taint findings against him as communally biased ⬇️
BASL has requested both the AG & Director, CID to act w.r.t. a poster campaign on Aug 28, 2024 making disparaging remarks against the Mannar High Court Judge, given it involves offences punishable in terms of both Article 111C of the Constitution and the Contempt of Court Act ⬇️
Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, in a press release on recent govt statements criticising judges who gave certain rulings, stresses that ▪︎ Independence is the lifeblood of the judiciary ▪︎ So it can't be subordinate to govt/legislature ▪︎ Govt must desist from attacking it ⬇️
