CJ Madraiwiwi formally closes legal year

His Honour Chief Justice Joni Madraiwiwi formally closed the Supreme Court of Nauru for the year and adjourned proceedings accordingly.
 
Chief Justice Madraiwiwi, Justice Jane Hamilton-White, Justice Mohammed Shafiullah Khan and Resident Magistrate Emma Garo took their places at the bench before the official ceremony commenced at the Nauru Court house this morning (12 Dec).
 
Speaking on behalf of the judges of the Supreme Court of Nauru, CJ Madraiwiwi expressed their "gratitude to the Government of Nauru for its support and am hopeful that it marks a new beginning between the Executive and Judiciary."
 
The Chief Justice thanked staff and acknowledged the invaluable contributions of pleaders in upholding the rights of ordinary citizens before the Courts.
 
His Honour also offered salutations and good wishes to his predecessor Geoffrey Eames as a recipient of the 2014 Law Council of Australia President's Medal; an annual award that recognises an Australian lawyer's outstanding contribution to the legal profession.
 
In his response Solicitor-General and acting Secretary for Justice Graham Leung said the "end of a year is a good time to take stock, to look back and reflect on how things might have been and to look forward to how matters can be improved."
 
"Government is pleased that both the Supreme Court and the District Court have commenced work in earnest.  A strengthened judiciary and justice system will help grow the "rule of law" by ensuring that the law is applied impartially and fairly. It will help foster trust between those who are governed and those in whose trust they place their government," Mr Leung said.
 
The president of the Nauru Law Society Vinci Clodumar offered a response that also highlighted matters on the rise before the courts.
 
The Supreme Court of Nauru will sit in January, June and December 2015. A schedule of the full year will be issued in due course by the Office of the Registrar.
