Having him made judge was just so wrong, and not only because he didn’t practise as a lawyer.

If he had no such connections, there may not be any legal grounds for his abstention.

If this Mintoff is not challenged every time there is the slightest hint of conflict of interest then we will end up with no judiciary and consequently no democracy.

It is up to the Chief Justice.

It is better if he is given his salary without having any cases assigned to him then opening the door to the possibility of dragging the judiciary even further into disrepute.

It has very little left by the way of repute anyway.

Problem is: it will be Judge Mintoff who will have to decide if he has a conflict of interest.
