The Supreme Court’s ‘Latin Mass’ decisions

May 11, 2023 by opinion.inquirer.net Leave a Comment

One of the most consequential reforms undertaken by the Catholic Church happened when it abandoned the Latin Mass in the 1960s and allowed local languages to be used in all masses. This was brought about by Vatican Council II that was convened by the Pope with the aim of improving church practices in order to make them relevant and understandable to the people.

Our Supreme Court needs its version of Vatican Council II in order to make its rulings relevant and understandable to the people.

When the Supreme Court comes out with a decision, its ruling doesn’t merely affect the two parties in the case, but impacts the lives of our country’s entire population of 110 million Filipinos, including those yet to be born. Supreme Court rulings are equivalent to laws passed by Congress. In fact, Supreme Court decisions are oftentimes even more powerful than laws, because of the high court’s power to choose the mandatory interpretation that will be assigned to the law’s words.

The stark reality, however, is that when the Supreme Court churns out a new decision, it functions as a wholesale manufacturer of a virtual commercial product which it supplies for free to a cottage industry of law practitioners. Lawyers then retail the Supreme Court-supplied “product” to ordinary people, for fat compensation. There’s little chance for common people to read and understand Supreme Court decisions by themselves, because they’re not written for the ordinary citizen. They are lengthy, laden with multiple issues, and full of archaic language. People are forced to go through gatekeepers (lawyers) who sort out Supreme Court decisions in order to find one that fits a particular person’s shoe size, so to speak.

What’s even more problematic is the fact that the Supreme Court has flip-flopped on certain matters that are crucial in people’s lives. One example are the rules and requirements for marriage to be nullified under the ground of “psychological incapacity.” From the time the Family Code became effective in 1988, the Supreme Court has rendered rulings that have modified, supplemented, and then again revised the applicable rules on the issue.

Because principles and interpretations emanating from jurisprudence may become modified over time, identifying the updated Supreme Court decision is equally difficult for lawyers and trial judges. Looking for the right Supreme Court decision that suits one’s case is like engaging in a treasure hunt. Law researchers resort to privately managed websites that post as reliable repositories of law and jurisprudence. In the age of disinformation, it may only be a matter of time when manipulators peddle twisted interpretations of the law and misrepresented Supreme Court decisions.

One option for the Supreme Court is to include in its website a portal that categorizes its decisions into subjects (e.g., political law, labor law, commercial law, remedial law, ethics, criminal law, and civil law). In each category, Supreme Court decisions that answer common legal problems relevant in ordinary people’s lives, and which constitute the bulk of court cases, should have a simplified and summarized presentation that’s understandable by common people. It may include rulings on marriage nullity, common law partnership, loan interest ceiling, bouncing check, ejectment, arrest, search and seizure, libel, drug raids, among others.

Another portal can house new Supreme Court decisions that modify previous principles or that set precedent-setting interpretations of a crucial law. This would be very useful for legal practitioners and trial judges who no longer have to engage in a wild goose chase of jurisprudence. Imagine the amount of research time saved by judges, and the reduced billable hours that litigants pay. Such a portal will also lessen mistakes by trial judges and prosecutors who may be prone to being misled by outdated jurisprudence. For sure, appellate justices have existing research that can give content to such a portal, and sharing them with the public may lessen appealed cases.

By making a portal that the masses can directly consult, the Supreme Court will dilute the reputation of the legal profession as a commercial monopoly, and emphasize its nature as a public service. It will shore up positive public perception of the Supreme Court, which has consistently ranked low in surveys, surely because people feel no connection with its workings.

The Supreme Court should reach out and communicate directly with the people. Otherwise, they risk being cast as a conclave of cardinals who broadcast the rituals of a Latin Mass high up in their ivory tower.

Eight accused of attacking GHQ to be transferred to military courts

May 29, 2023 by www.thenews.com.pk Leave a Comment

RAWALPINDI: Eight accused of attacking the General Headquarters (GHQ) during the May 9 protests will be transferred to military courts after the move was green lighted by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi.

Enraged by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan’s arrest, party supporters allegedly pillaged government and military installations on May 9.

To contain the violence, the government called in the army and announced that the protesters would be tried under army laws. A large number of PTI workers and leaders were arrested in a countrywide crackdown.

The transfer of the cases was approved by ATC Judge Hamid Hussain after Deputy Prosecutor General Malik Rafqat Ali moved a petition seeking the transfer of the accused to military courts.

Two cases were registered, separately, at the Civil Lines Police Station and R A Bazaar Police Station against protesters that had attacked the GHQ following the arrest of Khan from the Islamabad High Court.

The accused booked in a first information report (FIR) registered at the Civil Lines Police Station are Ali Hussain, son of Khalilur Rehman; Lal Shah, son of Jahanzaib; Shehryar Zulfiqar, son of Zulfiqar Ahmed and Farhad Khan, son of Shahid Hussain Khan.

The request to transfer these men for trial at the military court was moved by commanding officer/military officer Farhan Nazir Qureshi.

The ones named in the FIR registered at the R A Bazar Police Station are Muhammad Idrees, son of Muhammad Sharif; Umar Farooq, son of Muhammad Sabir; Raja Muhammad Ehsan, son of Muhammad Maqsood; and Muhammad Abdullah, son of Kanwar Muhammad Ashraf Khan.

All the accused “were sent to judicial lockup as they were found guilty of offences under sections 3,7 & 9 of Official Secrets Act, 1952 read with section 2(1)(d) of Pakistan Army Act, 1952”.

The ATC also directed the superintendent of Adyala Jail to hand over the custody of accused persons to the commanding officers.

The Rawalpindi ATC approved the transfer of the accused after a similar decision was made by an ATC in Lahore last week.

On May 25, an ATC allowed the handover of 16 suspects, involved in the ransacking and vandalising of Jinnah House, to the commanding officer so they can be tried under the army laws.

In the order, ATC Judge Abher Gul Khan accepted the request of the army officer who had sought the custody of the vandals presently confined in Camp Jail, Lahore.

They were named in two separate cases filed in connection with the attack on the Corps Commander’s House also known as Jinnah House.

The accused included Amar Zohaib, Ali Iftikhar, Ali Raza, Muhammad Arsalan, Muhammad Umair, Muhammad Raheem, Ziaur Rehman, Waqas Ali, Raees Ahmad, Faisal Irshad, Muhammad Bilal Hussain, Faheem Haider, Arzam Junaid, ex-PTI MPA Mian Muhammad Akram Usman, Muhammad Hashir Khan, and Hassan Shakir.

Loafers Lodge review finds 25 similar high density accommodation providers in Wellington

May 29, 2023 by www.stuff.co.nz Leave a Comment

Wellington City Council has identified 25 high density accommodation providers similar to Loafers Lodge following the tragic fire at the Wellington hostel that killed five.

The review, called for by Wellington mayor Tory Whanau​ in the wake of the fire, focused on multi-level, higher-density buildings of greater than two storeys which provide commercial accommodation options.

It identified 25 buildings that fitted the criteria of which 21 have a current building warrant of fitness .

Of the four that don’t, one is not required to have a building warrant of fitness and the council is waiting on information from the other three building owners. Officers will be following up as a matter of priority, a statement from Whanau’s office said.

Whanau said it was vital to get these buildings warranted as soon as possible.

“I expect building owners to respond quickly to ensure the buildings are up to standard. Lives may depend on it.”

While council officers had taken every effort to identify all buildings in Wellington City covered by the scope of the review, it was possible there might be future additions, the council said.

The locations of the 25 buildings identified in the review would not be released publicly, it said.

Loafers Lodge, built in the early 1970s as a commercial building, was converted to accommodation in 2006.

It did not have sprinklers but was not required to. The lodge was inspected and issued a building warrant of fitness in March, Wellington City Council spokesperson Richard MacLean​ earlier said.

It had 94 bedrooms in the four-storey building , with shared kitchens and common areas on every accommodation floor and had the capacity to house 112 people.

“There were no concerns raised by the independently qualified person who inspected and tested the life safety systems in the building,” MacLean said

However, Stuff revealed the Fire Service, the entity which preceded Fire and Emergency, had repeatedly raised safety issues during Loafers Lodge conversion to accommodation, even recommending the council decline the consent for extension because of fire safety concerns.

Whanau said the fire had “rightly put safety in the spotlight”.

“I call on the Government to review the regulations around building safety including whether sprinklers should be required in all buildings like Loafers Lodge.”

STUFF
As days turn to weeks and months from the Loafers Lodge fire in Wellington, many questions remain.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins​ has asked the Housing Minister to review the building rules.

Police confirmed the death to toll remained at five as of the weekend, with the scene examination expected to continue this week.

Police had already released the names of the five victims , and were offering support to their families, acting Wellington district commander Inspector Dion Bennett​ said in a statement on Saturday afternoon.

திருவனந்தபுரம்: நடிகை லிஸியின் தந்தை நான்தான் என்று கேரளாவைச் சேர்ந்த வர்க்கி என்பவர் தொடர்ந்த வழக்கில் கேரளா உயர்நீதிமன்றம் லிசிக்கு நோட்டிஸ் அனுப்பியுள்ளது.

1980 ம் ஆண்டுகளில் மலையாள சினிமா உலகில் கொடி கட்டிப் பறந்தவர் நடிகை லிஸி. 1990 களில் சினிமாவை விட்டு ஒதுங்கிய லிஸி பிரபல இயக்குநர் பிரியதர்ஷனை காதலித்து மணந்து கொண்டார்.

இருவருக்குள்ளும் ஏற்பட்ட கருத்து வேறுபாடு காரணமாக தற்போது லிஸி-பிரியதர்ஷன் தம்பதியர் பிரிந்து வாழ்கின்றனர்.இந்நிலையில் நடிகை லிஸியின் உண்மையான தந்தை நான்தான் என்று வர்க்கி என்பவர் தொடர்ந்த வழக்கு மல்லுவுட்டில் பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது.

விக்ரம்

மலையாள நடிகை லிஸி தமிழில் விக்ரம், ஆனந்த அரண்மனை மனசுக்குள் மத்தாப்பூ ஆகிய படங்களில் நடித்ததன் மூலம் தமிழ் ரசிகர்களுக்கும் நன்கு பரிச்சயமானவர். 1990 ம் ஆண்டு இயக்குநர் பிரியதர்ஷனை காதலித்து கரம் பிடித்தார். இருவருக்கும் ஒரு மகன், மகள் இருக்கின்றனர். இருவருக்கும் இடையில் ஏற்பட்ட கருத்து வேறுபாடு காரணமாக தற்போது இத்தம்பதியினர் பிரிந்து வாழ்கின்றனர்.

லிஸியின் தந்தை

இந்நிலையில் கணவரைப் பிரிந்து வாழும் லிஸிக்கு தற்போது மற்றொரு சோதனை ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. கேரள மாநிலம் முவாற்றுபுழாவை சேர்ந்த வர்க்கி தான் லிஸியின் தந்தை என்றும்,வயதான காலத்தில் லிஸி தன்னை கவனிக்காமல் விட்டுவிட்டதாகவும் லிஸியின் மேல் குற்றம் சாட்டினார். மேலும் மாதம்தோறும் அவர் தனக்கு பண உதவி செய்ய ஏற்பாடு செய்யவேண்டும் என்றும் ஆர்.டி.ஓ.விடம் மனு கொடுத்தார். இந்த மனுவின் அடிப்படையில் வர்க்கிக்கு மாதந்தோறும் லிஸி ரூ.5,500 கொடுக்க ஆர்.டி.ஓ. உத்தரவிட்டார்.

தொடர்ந்து சோதனை

ஆனால் ஆர்.டி.ஓவின் இந்த உத்தரவை லிசி ஏற்கவில்லை. வர்க்கி எனது தந்தை இல்லை என்று ஆர்.டி.ஓ. உத்தரவை எதிர்த்து கேரள உயர்நீதிமன்றத்தில் வழக்கு தொடர்ந்தார். ஆனால் நீதிமன்றம் வர்க்கிக்கு, லிஸி பணம் கொடுக்க வேண்டும் என்பதை உறுதிபடுத்தி உத்தரவிட்டது. இதனை எதிர்த்து டிவிஷன் பெஞ்சில் லிஸி முறையீடு செய்தார். மனுவை விசாரித்த நீதிபதி தனது தீர்ப்பில் வர்க்கிக்கு லிசி மாதந்தோறும் ரூ.10 ஆயிரம் வழங்கவேண்டும் என்று உத்தரவிட்டார். இதனை ஏற்காத லிஸி வர்க்கி எனது தந்தையே இல்லை என்று மீண்டும் மனு தாக்கல் செய்தார்.

டி.என்.ஏ பரிசோதனை

இதைத் தொடர்ந்து வர்க்கி கேரள ஐகோர்ட்டில் லிஸி எனது மகள்தான். இதனை ஏற்க அவர் மறுப்பதால் டி.என்.ஏ. பரிசோதனை நடத்த உத்தரவிட வேண்டும் என்று மனுதாக்கல் செய்தார். இந்த மனுவை விசாரித்த நீதிபதி இதற்கு லிஸி விளக்கம் அளிக்கும்படி நோட்டீசு அனுப்ப உத்தரவிட்டார். வழக்கு விசாரணை வருகிற 19-ந்தேதிக்கு தள்ளி வைக்கப்பட்டது. டி.என்.ஏ பரிசோதனை நடத்தப்படுமா? என்பது அப்போத

Orissa HC lens on ORERA 'skirting' orders in realty disputes

Orissa high court

CUTTACK: The Orissa high court on Wednesday sought a response from Odisha Real Estate Regulatory Authority (
The HC was hearing a PIL seeking intervention against ORERA allegedly skirting execution of the court’s orders for the realisation of money in disputes.
Bimalendu Pradhan
The affidavit on the basis of information gathered through

The two-judge bench of Chief Justice S Muralidhar and Justice
ORERA sent the 53 cases to the collector of Khurda – the authority under the Odisha Public Demand Recovery Act, 1962. These cases were sent to the office of ADM, Khurda as each involved recovery of Rs 25 lakh.
In the affidavit, Pradhan further stated that in toto ORERA has sent 128 cases for recovery of money to collectors under the OPDR Act or the civil court. “Even civil courts have started sending them back to the ORERA. Further, negligible recovery has been made in respect of penalty imposed to the ORERA upon promoters,” the affidavit stated.
The HC had sought from ORERA a status report on the 62 cases involving recovery of money. In an affidavit placed before the court on Wednesday, ORERA secretary
Significantly, the ORERA and the state government had earlier conceded that the authority is not equipped with the required mechanism to deal with the disputes raised by flat and apartment buyers.
On sending the orders to the civil court, ORERA had in an affidavit expressed its inability to execute the order by itself and stated that there is no established mechanism like that of the civil courts to take measures for attachment of movable and immovable property. A full-fledged nizarat with adequate numbers of process servers is necessary and the authority has no nizarat and process server.
“The civil court is well equipped to enforce an order through the process of its court. Creating parallel infrastructure in ORERA for execution of orders will be an unnecessary burden on the state exchequer. Hence, it is fully correct and lawful on the part of ORERA to send its orders to the civil court for execution within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the project is located or the person against whom the order is being issued actually resides,” the state government had stated.
