From Dr F. Depasquale

The Chamber of Advocates deplores and dissociates itself from the opinions expressed by Dr Lorraine Schembri Orland in her letter “Appointment of judges and the Constitution” (TMIS, 12 November).

Whatever the motives behind the letter, it is imperative that full respect is shown by advocates to the judiciary and that the general public is not given further cause to doubt the integrity of the judiciary.

The Chamber appeals to all concerned, without exception, to be circumspect in their comments.

Francesco Depasquale

Secretary
