Who’ll succeed Sir Clifford Hammett as Fiji’s Chief Justice when Sir Clifford retires in the next few weeks? Nauru’s Chief Justice I. R. Thompson?
The coconut radio says he would be glad to get back.
He did a good job as senior magistrate, Registrar of the Supreme Court and Puisne Judge. Mr. Justice Moti Tikaram, first Fiji-born Indian to be a Fiji magistrate and first of his race to be a judge, could also be in the running. And Mr. Siddiq M. Koya, Federa tion Party Opposition Leader in the House of Represen tatives, wouldn’t mind donning the chief justice’s full-bottomed wig and getting out of politics.
There are those who think he’ll be jettisoned by the NFPF after the elections.
