True, but H.E. the President, the head of the Commission for the Administration of Justice, was there and listened too.

Maybe he took note of Dr. Balzan’s not-so-disguised reference to one particular magistrate.

What he will do about it is what would be most interesting.

Did you not see her face when Dr Balzan remarked, “Most of the members of the judiciary were what the people expected of them, but the behaviour of even one member of the judiciary could have a bearing on the people’s respect of the judiciary as a whole”?

Eyes downcast, but with a look on her face which spelled “I’ll get you at the first opportunity”.

That’s not true. Just because the shirt was open to the navel doesn’t mean he was shirtless.

I hope he took note and passed the message on to the elder of his sisters.
