A number of legal practitioners presented a petition against a Resident Magistrate to the Chief Magistrate. The Resident Magistrate then convicted two of them of contempt of court without a hearing or other notice to them. Qua
shing the convictions the Chief Justice reminded all concerned of the need to respect long accepted rules of ethics, etiquette and procedure for the future avoidance of such unedifying events.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

With respect, the petition brought no credit to the 
signatories inasmuch as their joint action paid no regard to the rules of court ethics and etiquette which had been built into the justice system to ensure the smooth transaction of court business. Every trained lawyer should know that there are proper an
d
 accepted ways of dealing with procedural problems affecting every case. Because lawyers who signed the petition did not reflect more earnestly on their professional responsibilities and duty to the courts we get this sorry state of affairs. The spectacle
 
reflected poorly on everyone involved. That aside, it was clear that the applicants had somehow developed a distinct antipathy towards the learned Magistrate. It was this antipathy which had caused them to seek the removal of their cases from the learned 
Magistrate to whom those cases were properly assigned. It is a matter of concern that the applicants saw nothing distasteful in their lobbying unashamedly to have their cases reassigned to another Magistrate.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

The problems that had arisen between the applicants and the learned Magistrate could have been avoided if everyone had acted strictly objectively and professionally in the interest of the judicial system. With some reluctance I must say 
that the Chief Magistrate and the learned Magistrate were not entirely free from blame for the sorry state of affairs that had occurred. I feel certain they could have helped to resolve the problem if they had taken decisive action in what should have bee
n
 a straightforward procedural matter. It got out of hand because the question of transferring cases from one magistrate to another was treated somewhat loosely or rather informally when proper observance of court procedures and practice was called for. Bo
t
h judicial officers concerned in this matter should have required all applications for transfer of cases to be dealt with by motions and affidavit. This would have allowed the merit of each application to be properly examined and ruled upon. This would ha
v
e allowed an aggrieved person from any such ruling to take the matter further on appeal and thereby vindicate the integrity of the legal process and the judicial system. Apart from this there was also the well-established court procedure enabling an appli
c
ation to be made calling on a magistrate to disqualify himself or herself from taking on a case upon proper cause being shown. The appeal process was there to ensure further judicial scrutiny of controversial issues. The importance of following proper cou
rt procedure and practice cannot be overemphasized as the circumstances disclosed by the present case clearly demonstrate.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid13986239\charrsid13986239

low proper channels which in this case would be through the well-established disciplinary procedures administered by the Judicial and Legal Services Commission. It was clearly quite inapt for those allegations to have been directed to the Chief Magistrate
 
who lacked the disciplinary powers to act positively and effectively in the matter. It was against this background of hostility against him that had no doubt prompted the learned Magistrate to exercise his judicial power and issued his Ruling on 10 Decemb

t
 given any notice about the likelihood that those findings would be made against them nor any opportunity given to them to contest the findings. The Ruling which ran into 21 pages dealt with extensively with the procedure for transferring cases within the
 magistracy and concluded with the findings that the applicants had committed acts of contempt within section 136 (1) (h) and (m) of the\~}{\field\fldedit{\*\fldinst {\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9568297

As regards the present application the court is not concerned with the merits of the Ruling itself. It is concerned only with the manner, that is, the decision-making process by which the learned Magistrate arrived at his findings in his Rulin
g. In my view it was mainly in that respect that the learned Magistrate misdirected himself in his adjudication against the applicants. He breached the rules of natural justice by not giving proper notice to the applicants of his intended action as encaps
u
lated in his Ruling. Nor did the learned Magistrate accord the applicants any opportunity to defend themselves against his findings which were clearly adverse to their interests. The learned Magistrate was under a legal duty to afford them such an opportu
n
ity. The essence of judicial review is to ensure that the decision-making process by a court or tribunal was done according to law. Basic to this concept is the requirement that every person who becomes the subject of judicial or administrative scrutiny m

 matter should have gone to the police in the first place to investigate and if probable cause was shown to lay charges under the section. No court can have jurisdiction to adjudicate a criminal cause without the charges against a defendant being first fo
