The Guyana Bar Association (GBA) says that the recent “disparaging,” remarks made by Justice Sandil Kissoon, finding that attorney Stephen Fraser SC committed fraud on a Court; among other things can have a debilitating impact on the rule of law and diminish public confidence in the administration of justice.
The GBA statement did not name either Justice Kissoon or Fraser.
It said it views the statements as an “attack” not only on Senior Counsel Fraser, but on the entire Bar; even as it registers that the judge’s remarks have not gone unnoticed and said it wanted to also remind that “judicial restraint is always a prudent course of conduct.”
