Can someone research justice Chang’s decisions?

Feb 28, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Good commentary by Freddie on Justice Chang’s decision. Does indeed boggle the mind of coming out of retirement leave to issue a decision on a matter involving the government which in the final analysis is one’s employer. Now that a stay of execution has been granted, there should be no interruption in the government’s activity.  In the Sooba case decision, it might be that the Honourable Judge was playing with words to meet the intellectual level of the affected individuals who probably would not have understood the difference between de jure and de facto.
Fortunately the government changed and that permitted the pompous ones to take their hikes. It was a constant amazement to me that the Honourable Judge would regularly spend lots of time dealing with applications for changes in bail amounts and conditions, an activity which in reality belittled the rulings and decisions of the magistrates closer to the cases and defendants. One can wonder what else mattered that so much time
had to be so spent so regularly. Next Freddie should get his lawyer friends to do a case by case search and come up with figures on the Honourable Judge’s decisions which favoured the administration. There is nothing untoward in such analysis as it is done all over the world with conclusions such as pro this or pro that. Will we surprised at any conclusion? Finally why was the Honourable Judge not confirmed in his  his position? He was acting in the position for quite a long time. I wonder why.
