ظلال واشجان في مسيرة القضاء السوداني بقلم الفاتح ميرغني / طوكيو

Quote: المعروف ان القضاء , اي قضاء , يكتسب هيبته ليس من قدرته على إنزال الاحكام الرادعة , وإنما من قدرته على صون إستقلاليته , والتي هي اشبه بحزام العفة الذي كانت ترتديه الفتيات في اوروبا القروسطية ( Medieval).ومن المؤسف ان القضاء السوداني , والذي قاد مسيرته يوما كوكبة متلألأة من القضاة العدول , مثل العلامة ابو رنات وآخرين, قد تعرض خلال العقود الاربعة الماضية , إلى كافة انواع التحرش والتي بدأت بزرايته وتدجينه ثم تسخيره وتسييسه, مما القى بظلال قاتمة على إستقلاليته ونزاهته (Integrity).

Quote: وابو رنات كان من اعظم رجال القانون في العالم، وقد هاجمه الوسيلة، احد قيادات الحزب الشيوعي ــ رحمة الله عليه ــ في احد مجالس امدرمان ولم يغضب ابو رنات.

Quote: تلك كانت حقبة زمنية جميلة وكان لنا قضاء نفاخر به وبتراثه, وعلى العكس من حال القضاء الآن حيث ان بعض القضاة الآن يصدرون منطوق احكام وقرارات تجعل ابو رنات واللورد دينينج يتململان في قبريهما.

Quote: which society requires of its members

Quote: نتابع ماتكتبون باستمتاع شديد قد ندخل على استحياء لاحقا

Quote: في الحتة دي نلاحظ بان المعيار موضوعي كما يتجلى ذلك ايضا في تعريف اللورد ديننج الذي ذهب إلى ان الـ reasonable man هو: الرجل المهذب الحذر الذي لا يقطع الشارع والإشارة حمراء والذي يطرق الباب ولا يدخل قبل ان يؤذن له بذلك, وهو نفس المعيار التي عرفت به الاخت عواطف الـ reasonable woman عندما حذرت من زواج اللفيفة والخفيفة والشمشارة والبوبارة.(All are very unreasonable women arn't they ?

Quote: كما لا ننسى خروجه الخلاق على بعض سوابق القانون الانجليزي لعدم تماشيها مع البيئة السودانية, واظنك تتذكر موقفه من ""The M'Naghten Rules الخاصة بدفع الجنون.حيث رأى بان مقولة that a person may be "insane" if "...at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, arising from a disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing, or, if he did know it, that he did not know what he was doing was wrong." لا ينبغي الاخذ بها إذ لا بد من اخذ الظروف الموضوعية بعين الإعتبار وان الجنون بالمعنى الطبي ليس بالضرورة هو الجنون المعتبر قانونا, وهو نفس الرأى الذي اخذت به المحكمة النيجيرية

Quote: والحق يقال هذا أحد أجمل البوستات التى إطلعت عليها طوال السبعة سنوات المنصرمة

Quote: Denning was the fourth of five sons of Charles Denning and his wife Clara. Denning's father was a draper. His mother had been a school teacher. After school and after a year at Oxford University, he served in WW I with the Royal Engineers in the 151st Field Company, a construction company. His unit, attached to the Welsh Division, was responsible for the construction of bridges over the Ancre River in the British attacks in August 1918. He resumed his education at Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating with a First Class degree in mathematics, after which he taught mathematics at Winchester College, before returning to study law at Magdalen, again achieving a First Class degree. He was later made an honorary fellow by the college. He trained at Lincoln's Inn, and was later a bencher of the Inn (by 1982, he had been made an honorary bencher of both Gray's Inn and the Middle Temple). Denning was called to the English bar in 1923, took silk in 1938 and was appointed a High Court judge and knighted in 1944. Only four years later, he was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal, as well as a Privy Councillor, and in 1957 he became a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary with a life peerage as Baron Denning, of Whitchurch in the County of Southampton. He also served as Master of the Rolls from 1962 to 1982, later receiving the Order of Merit in 1997 in recognition of his distinguished career. He first married in 1932. His wife Mary died nine years later of tuberculosis. He remarried in 1945 to Joan, who died in 1992. [edit] Legal career Denning is perhaps one the most quoted and referenced Court of Appeal judges in the 20th Century.[citation needed] His approach was ground-moving and he was not afraid to reconsider or depart from established precedent. Creatively using his flexible approach and eloquent prose he shaped appellate law while following his primary interest: justice. Denning spent twenty years as the Master of the Rolls, presiding over the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal, after five years as a Law Lord, shifting to the Court of Appeal at his request because he was happier with that post than one in the more senior court. Court of Appeal judges sit in threes, and the Lords in fives (or more), so it was suggested that to get his way in the Court of Appeal Denning only had to persuade one other judge whereas in the House of Lords it was at least two. The other 'benefit' of the Court of Appeal is that it hears more cases than the House of Lords, and so has a greater effect on the law. During his twenty years as Master of the Rolls, Denning could choose both which cases he heard, and the judges with whom he sat. Therefore, on most issues, he effectively had the last word; comparatively few cases went on to the House of Lords, Britain's highest court of law. Of his move down the legal hierarchy, Denning quipped, "To most lawyers on the bench, the House of Lords is like heaven. You want to get there someday — but not while there is any life in you." Denning was especially known for challenging the principle of stare decisis (binding judicial precedent) during his tenure in the Court of Appeal. Although the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal is bound by its own past decisions, with a few exceptions set out in Young v Bristol Aeroplane Co Ltd, Denning argued that as this rule had been set by the Court of Appeal, they could change it. In Gallie v Lee, he stated: "It was a self-imposed limitation and we who imposed it can also remove it." The other judges on the Court of Appeal did not agree; in the same case Russell LJ stated: "The availability of the House of Lords to correct errors in the Court of Appeal makes it, in my view, unnecessary for the court to depart from its existing discipline." In 1979, Denning was part of a panel of judges on Davis v Johnson who refused to follow a precedent set by the Court of Appeal on the statutory interpretation of the Domestic Violence and Matrimonial Proceedings Act 1976. The case went to the House of Lords, who despite agreeing with the new interpretation, "expressly, unequivocally and unanimously reaffirmed the rule in Young v Bristol Aeroplane".[1] Notwithstanding the practical progression of the law reflected in Denning's decisions, his judicial activism has lead to severe criticism in some quarters, largely on the basis that such refusal to follow precedent undermined the rule of law and produced uncertainty in the legal system. In 1963, Denning was appointed by then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to look into the role of the police and security services in the Profumo affair.[2] However, much of his report was devoted to an investigation of Stephen Ward, a man whom Denning alleged to cater for others' "perverted tastes".[3] However, Ward was a relatively minor player in the affair — his only relation to it was introducing then Secretary of State for War John Profumo to Christine Keeler, whom the latter became intimately involved with.[4] Conspiracy theorists have insinuated that Denning was involved in a cover-up to protect members of the establishment — allegedly including members of the royal family — from being pinned as the culprits.[5] The last sitting British judge not bound by a mandatory retirement age, he was forced to retire after remarks interpreted as racially insensitive, though generally understood not to have indicated such feelings. Denning's 1982 book What Next in the Law was his downfall. In it, he seemed to suggest some members of the black community were unsuitable to serve on juries, and that immigrant groups may have had different moral standards to native Englishmen. His remarks followed a trial over a riot in Bristol. Two jurors on the case threatened to sue him, although some scholars have pointed out that his attitudes were not far out of line with opinions in the right-wing press of the day, and may have been taken out of context somewhat. Nonetheless, Lord Denning was forced to back down and avoided further conflict by apologising. He then announced he would be retiring. Later editions of the book assert Denning's commitment to representative juries and diversity. [1] [edit] Judgments Lord Denning became immensely popular for his judgments, which often bent the law into interesting directions, and his unusual prose style in giving judgment in a broad Hampshire accent: 'The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail – its roof may shake – the wind may blow through it – the storm may enter – the rain may enter – but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.' So be it – unless he has justification by law.: Southam v Smout [1964] 1 QB 308 at 320. One of Denning's most influential decisions in torts was his well articulated opinion regarding relational economic loss in Spartan Steel & Alloys, Ltd. v. Martin & Co., [1972] 3 All E.R. 557 (C.A.). While his fellow judges, Lawton LJ (concurring) and Edmund Davies LJ (dissenting), based their rulings on stare decisis and general tort principles (respectively). Denning based his judgment on a thorough analysis of relevant policy factors. A controversial judgment was that in the appeal of the Birmingham Six in 1979. Denning's view was that "If the six men win, it will mean that the police are guilty of perjury, that they are guilty of violence and threats, that the confessions were invented and improperly admitted in evidence and the convictions were erroneous... This is such an appalling vista that every sensible person in the land would say that it cannot be right that these actions should go any further". [2] He also commented that "We shouldn't have all these campaigns to get the Birmingham Six released if they'd been hanged. They'd have been forgotten and the whole community would have been satisfied." The men's convictions were overturned in 1991, after it was shown that the police had indeed done all the things Denning described, and he admitted that the West Midlands Police force had "let us all down". [3]. This case also highlighted a major flaw in English judicial independance in that it is very difficult to reverse or alter a ruling. The world renowned High Trees case: Central London Property Trust Ltd v. High Trees House Ltd [1947] K.B. 130, was a milestone in English contract law and made Denning's name early on in his career as an innovator in legal reasoning. The case is said to have revived the doctrine of equitable estoppel or 'promissory estoppel'. However, Denning's doctrine has been criticised by some legal academics, who argue that he paid little regard to the existing law and that the doctrine is the result of his attempt to find a resolution that equated to his personal notion of "justice." Other legal academics and jurists (such as Roderick Meagher William Gummow and John Lehane) have defended 'High Trees' as being founded on conventional equitable principles drawn from 19th Century cases such as the House of Lords decision in Hughes v Metropolitan Railway (1877)2App Cas 439 and the English Court of Appeal in Birmingham & District Land Co v London & North Western Railway (1888) 40 Ch D 268. The doctrine rediscovered by Lord Denning has been applied throughout the common law world. Even in rather mundane cases, Denning was able to see matters from a realistic, common-sense perspective, often that of the man-on-the-street, which gave his opinions a "real-world" application. For instance, in Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking [1971] 1 All ER 686 (CA), the plaintiff drove to the defendant's car park and was given a ticket by an automatic machine, which stated that it was issued subject to conditions displayed inside the car park. The conditions inside the car park were in small print, and one of them excluded liability for damages to vehicles or injury to customers. The plaintiff was injured due partly to the defendant's negligence. The plaintiff was not held to be bound by the notice displayed inside the premises. Denning said that the clause was so wide and destructive of rights that "In order to give sufficient notice, it would need to be printed in red ink with a red hand pointing to it - or something equally startling." In the last major case in which Denning gave judgment, George Mitchell (Chesterhall) Ltd v Finney Lock Seeds Ltd [1982] 3 WLR 1036 (CA), in September 1982, he referred to freedom of contract in the area of disclaimer exemption clauses as an "idol": "The judges knelt down, and worshipped it but they concealed, under their cloaks a secret weapon. They used it to stab the idol in the back. This weapon was called "the true construction of the contract." He went on: "They used the weapon of true construction, of the contract so as to depart from the natural meaning of the words of the exemption clause and to put upon them a strained and unnatural construction , . ." Denning, of course, intended no attack on the sanctity of contract in general terms; he was talking only of exemption clauses. His words are candid; but the process which he describes might be regarded by a layman as cheating because it is to do one thing and to call it another. [edit] Death and legacy Many of Denning's persistent and resilient efforts to change the law were ultimately vindicated by the passage of time. In particular, he is famous for his inventive efforts in contract, negligence and the contentious balance between equity and common law. He tried to establish an abandoned wives' equity, protecting the rights of married women: He was initially disregarded, perhaps embarrassingly, but was only years later respectfully vindicated by Parliament in the Matrimonial Homes Act 1967. He also affirmatively opposed the use of small print exemption clauses, negligent mis-statements and was a pro-active mediator in situations of inequality of bargaining power. The well-respected scholar was also not afraid of invoking liability on established public authorities and he was, all the while, a pioneer and huge influence in the new-age world of promissory estoppel and the creative art of contractual interpretation. Denning died a few months after his 100th birthday, the celebrations for which he was too frail to attend. At the event, Law Society President Michael Matthews said: "He was a towering figure in the law who made an enormous contribution to the law of this century, probably the major contribution." Eulogising Denning's death, a former Lord Chancellor, Lord Hailsham of St. Marylebone, said that Denning would go down in history as "one of the great and controversial judges of the 20th century". The University of Buckingham's Law School organised a Symposium whereby each of the major area of law that Denning has had a profound influence on was discussed and debated. Each topic of discussion was chaired by someone with experience in that scope. E.g. The Rt. Hon. Lord Nolan on Public Inquiries. (Other Chairmen included Lords Woolf, Slynn). Afterwards the Law School's Law Society organised a Charity Dinner in which many of the guest speakers and attendees of the Symposium attended. The guest speaker was the then Vice-Chancellor of the Supreme Court, The Rt. Hon. Sir Richard Scott, now Lord Scott of Foscote, a Law Lord. Lord Denning was more than simply a learned and gifted jurist. His judgments were sharp, pithy and full of mischief. Perhaps his most famous case was Miller v. Jackson (1977) Q.B. 966, 976, or as it is far better known, The Cricket Case: In summertime village cricket is the delight of everyone. Nearly every village has its own cricket field where the young men play and the old men watch. In the village of Lintz in County Durham they have their own ground, where they have played these last 70 years. They tend it well. The wicket area is well rolled and mown. The outfield is kept short . . . [y]et now after these 70 years a judge of the High Court has ordered that they must not play there any more . . . [h]e has done it at the instance of a newcomer who is no lover of cricket. The Law Students Society at the University of Western Ontario, in Ontario, Canada, named its biweekly pub nights after Lord Denning, after he visited the law school in 1979. [edit] Other aspects of his life Denning was an Honorary Fellow of the British Academy and President of Birkbeck College. His many books include Freedom under the Law (1949), The Changing Law (1953), The Road to Justice (1955), The Discipline of Law (1979), The Due Process of Law (1980), What’s Next in the Law (1982) and Landmarks in the Law (1984). Denning was a serious and committed Christian believer. He served as president from 1950-1987 and until his death as patron of the Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship in the United Kingdom. A chapter in his 1953 book, The Changing Law, continues to be distributed as an evangelistic booklet by LCF, under the title, "The Influence of Religion." That essay concludes with these lines: "If religion perishes in the land, truth and justice will also. We have already strayed too far from the path of our fathers. Let us return to it, for it is the only thing that can save us."
