The Fiji Law Society has hit out at a newspaper company for publishing an incorrect paragraph with the Society's statement in today's Daily Post.
Society President Isireli Fa said the first Paragraph in the Daily reading "the FLS is maintaining it stand that it does not recognize judges appointed since December 5, 2006" is incorrect and he has asked the newspaper to correct the paragraph.
Fa said the Society has not at any time stated that it does not recognize judges appointed since December 5, 2006. He said the society is concerned with the lawfulness of appointments to judges that have arisen since 5th December out of the Judicial Services Commission meeting that was held on the 15th of January, 2007.
The Society has instituted legal action to determine the lawfulness of the Commission meeting and appointments after that.
Fa said it appears the paper company has adopted statements from Dr Shaista Shameem and others who have been commenting on the Commission's position where they may have paraphrased the Society's position incorrectly.
