The courts of Barbados are “in a crisis”.
And new president of the Bar Association, Barry Gale, QC, who says so, wants to find a short-term resolution designed at finally speeding up the wheels of justice.
He also wants to get rid of the bad apples in the country’s legal fraternity.
Gale, 59, was voted into the top spot yesterday after the Bar’s annual general meeting at Amaryllis Beach Resort.
“The courts are really in a crisis, and we need a solution quickly. Things have to change in the short term,” he told the SUNDAY SUN.
Gale said his first order of business would be to start dialogue with all the main players involved in the administration of justice in Barbados.
“My main goal to foster good relationships and increase the image of the Bar, and the way lawyers are perceived by the public,” he said.
Courts in crisis!
