“A judge cannot sit in the court and corrupt himself or herself; somebody makes the suggestion, somebody carries the money to him.
“It is just a pity that the judges now do not have strong moral character to resist it and expose such people.
“There is no reason a judge cannot send out a senior advocate from the court, if he is deliberately trying to delay and frustrate a case.
“So everything bounces back to the judge, who should exercise supreme authority in his own court and not become the dog being wagged by the senior advocates’ tail.
“This is what is happening in many cases”, the legal luminary stated.
