Inquiry into the Magistrates courts in Fiji is expected to be complete by early next week however, the findings by Judge Justice John Connors will not be made public until late February.
Speaking to Village News, Justice Connors said submissions have been received from a wide cross section of the society on the concerns within the administration and operations of the Magistrates courts.
He said submissions have been received from members of the public, Lawyers, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Fiji Human Rights Commission and even Magistrates from which he hopes to derive fruitful recommendations.
When questioned on information that has been received by Village news that a number of allegations, some serious in nature, have been made against certain Magistrates, Connors said we will have to wait for his final report due in February 2008.
