Oh dearie me, I did not know that blogging can be such hard work!

And can't charge at GBP 1,000 per hour!

While I enjoy reading what you have shared but I really do not see how these peripheral persons are involved in this case.

Please see my first first reply to Atticus Finch - in the middle, after the second quote from his message.

As things can get out of control, and I might have overdone it a little bit, and as ordered by "She who must be Obeyed" this seems to be the right place to put a disclaimer, so here you go:

Nothing written in this or other threads by one calling himself, herself or itself "Rumpole" makes any reference to, or cast any aspersions on the character of anyone. They do not make any imputation or insinuation of any motives to any member of the Singapore judiciary or anyone taking part in the administration of justice in Singapore. Neither do they impugn the integrity, propriety, impartiality, independence of the Singapore judiciary or the administration of justice in Singapore. All comments, opinions, statements of fact, etc are made in good faith and if subsequently proved to be without basis or otherwise not wholly accurate, then the author "stands corrected" which ahem, may be taken as an unreserved apology. Needless to say, "Rumpole" is not responsible for statements made by others in their replies to any of his threads.

I mean Prof Tey did screw his student, .....

This and another part of one of your replies to my other thread ("Fixing the Opposition Again? ...) to the effect that "he bonked her" or something does give me the opportunity to wax lyrical on this thing called the "Subconscious". Has it been proven that she had given him the pleasures imagined? Where, when, how? How did it get into your subconscious that they did it? Through reading about the girl's preference for short skirts, about the professor being "friendly and eccentric", photos of the girl partying? Would the effect have been the same if the media had shown a photo of her in high school with pigtails and long skirt and at a library desk with eyes intensely focused on a book?

For was it not in Attorney General v BBC [1981] AC 303 that Lord Dilhorne, in the House of Lords, said:

"It is sometimes said that no Judge can be influenced in his Judgement by anything said by the media and consequently that the need to prevent publication of matter prejudical to the hearing of a case only exists where the decision rests with laymen. This claim to judicial superiority over human frailty is one that I find some difficulty in accepting. Every holder of a Judicial Office does his utmost not to let his mind be affected by what he has seen or heard or read outside the Court and he will not knowingly let himself be influenced by the media, nor in my view will any layman, experienced in the discharge of judicial duties. Nevertheless, it should, I think, be recognised that a man may not be able to put that which he has seen, heard or read entirely out of his mind and that he may be subconsciously affected by it. It is the law, and it remains the law until it is changed by Parliament, that the publication of matter likely to prejudice the hearing of a case before a court of law will constitute contempt of court punishable by fine or imprisonment or both."

The judge's surname is so appropriate for this occasion (Dil-do and Horn-y)!

On the other side of the Atlantic, Cardozo, one of the greatest judges of the US Supreme Court, when referring to "the forces which enter into the conclusion of Judges" observed that "the great tides and currents which engulf the rest of men, do not turn aside in their curse and pass the Judges by". Have some of the replies not shown that their authors have been similarly cursed by the force of the Subconscious?

Lest it be said that I do not hold the same respect for some of our own judges, I would like to draw readers attention to a speech by Retired Judge LP Thean at an Asean Forum, which lo and behold is available on the internet at http://www.aseanlawassociation.org/docs/w1_sing.pdf , though he only refers to the isssue of "trial by media" in passing as he was talking about all aspects of "Judicial Independence and Effectiveness". I can assure you that Judge Thean is a strict taskmaster and it is not a pleasure to be scolded by him in chambers or open court in his high-pitched voice! Which reminds me not to neglect "She who must be Obeyed".

Now, I can go to the beach for some R & R.

Yes, I agree with Elephanto's comment that sometimes I am "too clever by half"!
