IGM reaction to Chief Justice’s comments
With reference to Chief Justice Joseph Azzopardi’s speech marking the start of the court calendar, the Institute of Maltese Journalists would like to point out that the Chief Justice has every right not to answer questions sent to him if he is precluded from doing so for ethical reasons.
This however does not mean that there is any harm in journalists sending questions, or indeed any reason for them not to do so, especially in light of the fact that the Maltese courts and judiciary lacks a proper media communications department, which should be considered essential for any entity or organisation in this day and age.
