JUSTICE SUKUL’s DISBARMENT SUSPENDED
…pending appeal in the UK High Court
The Bar Standards Board of England and Wales has formally suspended the Disbarment it had imposed on former Court of Appeal Judge Rabi Sukul
A copy of the letter sent to Justice Sukul noted that the judge has filed an appeal against his Disbarment. The suspension would remain in force until the determination of the appeal.
Justice Sukul returned to London earlier this month to consult with specialist lawyers and to file his appeal against the Disbarment imposed upon him by the Disciplinary Tribunal in his absence.
When Justice Sukul was asked about this new development he said that his lawyers learnt that a document dated January 6, 2012 that is central to the case was not disclosed to the Disciplinary Tribunal.
The appeal against the Disbarment was filed earlier this week in the High Court. If the appeal is allowed, the Disbarment will be overturned.
This newspaper has also been informed that certain irregularities that concern the procedure that the Bar Standards Board used to hold disciplinary proceedings against Justice Sukul, have been identified.
The judge, who until his forced retirement earlier this month, was a judge in the Guyana Court of Appeal.
He has not had a complaint of professional misconduct upheld against him for the 25 years he practiced law in the United Kingdom.
The new developments, according to Justice Sukul’s lawyers, seem to be turning the tide in the former Judge’s favour since the news broke of his Disbarment.
Attached is the letter announcing the suspension of the Disbarment.
