Criticize the judgment not the judge says Fiji High Court judge Justice Devandra Pathik.
Speaking at the 10th Attorney General’s conference on the topic of Regulating the Legal Profession – Justice Pathik is again reminding lawyers and the public – to leave the judges alone.
He is requesting lawyers to co-operate with judges for the effective administration of justice.
Justice Pathik says judges are in no way liable to respond to attacks made against them.
He says this is where the issue of judicial immunity – which has not been upheld in Fiji – comes up.
Justice Pathik says the independence of judges must be maintained at all times.
