Il-biera\u0127 il-Qorti Kostituzzjonali b\u0127ala Qorti tal-Appell idde\u010bidiet dwar l-ilment tal-Istat dwar sentenza ta’ Qorti Kostituzzjonali Inferjuri li ordnat li s-smieg\u0127 tal-kaw\u017ca bla dewmien jitne\u0127\u0127a minn quddiem Nadine Lia u jitqieg\u0127ed quddiem ma\u0121istrat ie\u0127or jew o\u0127ra.<\/a><\/p>\nG\u0127alkemm qablet ma’ Repubblika li l-kwistjoni kien je\u0127tie\u0121 li tinstema’ b’ur\u0121enza min\u0127abba l-fatt li \u017c-\u017cmien kien qed ig\u0127addi \u0121mielu u kien je\u0127tie\u0121 li l-kriminali ma jit\u0127allewx ig\u0127adduha lixxa min\u0127abba l-preskrizzjoni, l-Qorti Kostituzzjonali tal-Appell\u00a0 g\u0127alissa ma qablitx li l-kaw\u017ca g\u0127andha titne\u0127\u0127a minn quddiem Nadine Lia u tinstema’ minn ma\u0121istrat ie\u0127or. Ikun a\u0127jar, skond il-qorti, jekk Nadine Lia ma tibqax tisma’ l-kaw\u017ca sakemm tinqata’ l-kaw\u017ca l-o\u0127ra li hemm pendenti quddiem il-Qorti Kostituzzjonali, liema qorti je\u0127tie\u0121 li tidde\u010biedi b’ur\u0121enza dwar jekk id-drittijiet tag\u0127na \u0121ewx ikkalpestati jew le u mbag\u0127ad jing\u0127ata rimedju wara li jkunu nstemg\u0127u l-provi kollha.<\/p>\n
Permezz ta’ digriet li ta dalg\u0127odu l-Im\u0127allef Spiteri Bailey implika li l-Qorti Kostituzzjonali kienet fil-fatt idde\u010bidiet li Repubblika kellha ra\u0121un u li kien qata’ sentenza favuriha minkejja li ma kienx g\u0127adu sema’ l-provi kollha.<\/p>\n
Nag\u0127milha \u010bara li l-Qorti tal-Appell m’g\u0127addiet ebda kumment li jimplika li Ian Spiteri Bailey kien iddikjara ru\u0127u favur l-argumenti li \u0121abet Repubblika.<\/p>\n
Minkejja dan, l-Im\u0127allef Ian Spiteri Bailey dde\u010bieda li ma tkun \u0127a\u0121a sewwa kemm il-darba dawk li jidhru quddiemu (ji\u0121ifieri Repubblika jew l-Istat) anki jasal biex ig\u0127addilhom minn mo\u0127\u0127hom li hu kien di\u0121a’ kkonkluda dwar kif g\u0127andu jidde\u010biedi l-kaw\u017ca qabel jintemm il-pro\u010bess kollu. Huwa minnu li l-Qorti tal-Appell re\u0121g\u0127et bg\u0127atet il-ka\u017c quddiem l-Im\u0127allef Spiteri Bailey biex ikun hu li jaqta’ sentenza. I\u017cda, skont l-Im\u0127allef, dan m’huwiex bi\u017c\u017cejjed.<\/p>\n
Fid-digriet tieg\u0127u l-Im\u0127allef g\u0127amel \u0127a\u0121a ammirevoli u ta qima lill-prin\u010bipji li hu stess kien semma’ fis-sentenza li kien ta hu u jordna li, sakemm ikun hemm de\u010bi\u017cjoni finali,\u00a0 l-\u0121ustizzja tkun trid tidher li qed issir u l-ka\u017c ta’ Repubblika g\u0127andu jitne\u0127\u0127a g\u0127al kollox minn quddiem Nadine Lia. Skont l-Im\u0127allef dak li japplika g\u0127al Nadine Lia, g\u0127andu japplika g\u0127alih ukoll.<\/p>\n
L-Im\u0127allef ikkwota wkoll kitba mimlija g\u0127erf:<\/p>\n
\nIt is a basic principle of English law that a judge should not sit to hear a case in which a fair-minded and informed observer, having considered the facts, would conclude that there was a real possibility that s\/he was biased… The concept of bias includes any personal interest in the case or friendship with the participants, but extends further to any real possibility that a judge would approach a case with a closed mind, or indeed, with anything other than an objective view, a real possibility, in other words, that s\/he might have prejudiced the case.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nU kompla:<\/p>\n
\nIntegrity is the attribute of rectitude and righteousness. The components of integrity are honesty and judicial morality. A judge should always, not only in the discharge of official duties, act honourably and in a manner befitting the judicial office, and be free from fraud, deceit and falsehood, and be good and virtuous in behaviour and in character. There are no degrees of integrity as so defined. Integrity is absolute. In the judiciary, integrity is more than a virtue; it is a necessity.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nInfakkarkom dan il-ka\u017c dwar xiex jittratta. Nadine Lia kienet \u010ba\u0127det it-talbiet ta’\u00a0 Repubblika biex tirruku\u017ca ru\u0127ha mis-smieg\u0127 tal-kaw\u017ca g\u0127aliex il-ka\u017c jittratta dwar bank li kien \u0121ie m\u0121ieg\u0127el jag\u0127laq u li kien jintu\u017ca biex jin\u0127aslu flejjes ma\u0127mu\u0121in ta’ \u010berti politi\u010bi u li fih il-klijent famu\u017c ta’ missier \u017cew\u0121ha allegatament \u0127eba flejjes li kien akkwista minn sorsi lle\u010bti. Il-klijent – ji\u0121ifieri Joseph Muscat – ji\u010b\u0127ad dawn l-akku\u017ci.<\/p>\n
G\u0127al tliet darbiet wara xulxin irrifjutat li tirriku\u017ca ru\u0127ha u sa\u0127ansitra tat digriet mimli ine\u017cattezzi u invenzjonijiet.<\/p>\n
Lill-Im\u0127allef Ian Spiteri Bailey \u0127add ma talbu jirriku\u017ca ru\u0127u. I\u017cda jidher li xamm li xi \u0127add g\u0127ad jista’ jag\u0127mel talba b\u0127al din. U ming\u0127ajr ma qg\u0127ad jistenna li ssir it-talba, warrab minn jeddu u talab Im\u0127allef ie\u0127or biex jisma’ l-provi b’ur\u0121enza kif ordnat il-Qorti tal-Appell.<\/p>\n
L-Im\u0127allef mexa’ bl-e\u017cempju. E\u017cempju li w\u0127ud stennew li kienet ser timxi fuqu Nadine Lia. E\u017cempju li juri integrit\u00e0. Li juri determinazzjoni bla tlaqliq li, biex tassew ise\u0127\u0127 il-\u0121ustizzja, m\u0127allef m’g\u0127andu qatt jidher li qed ixaqleb lejn na\u0127a jew o\u0127ra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
