Comment posted Why are we waiting for the Bar Council? by Colin Mulcahy.
The British Residents’ Association was represented at the recent Bar Council presentation in Kyrenia. We were promised contact from the Council to discuss proposed legislation intended to control and discipline lawyers. They also offered to talk about ways to better inform expatriates about legal pitfalls. We are still waiting for the promised contact.
In the meantime our members continue to tell us about cases where they have lost money (and even property) because their lawyers appear not to have protected their interests.
There is much to be done…

- EU property decisions now contradict each other
There is some misunderstanding here about the two Courts.The ECJ is the highest Court of the EU.
The ECHR is the Court established under the European Convention on Human Rights, a convention established and signed by the 47 members of the Council of Europe, a body separate from the EU
So the ECHR does not have primacy over the ECJ. However, it is a pity that the ECHR ruling did not come before the ECJ ruling. There is little doubt that the ECJ would have taken into consideration the ECHR ruling had it been available at the time. But it might not have changed their view.
- TRNC KOOP BANK seeks to make people homeless
Are the buyers taking joint action in court to establish their prior claim to the developer’s assets?
If the developers have any assets in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, have the developers considered legal action outside TRNC?

The only communications that “get through” without any problems are the ones from TRNC asking for money. The others all see to land in spam or get lost in the world wide web. I found the excuse “in court” enervating that I went to the court to try to catch the man. I met his assistant. The main man was at the Türkish Grand Prix. Where does honesty and integrity begin in TRNC?

Is the answer from the Bar being kept secret? HAs it been there all along and we’re missing the message?(That there isn’t going to be one!) As so often in TRNC words, words, words. Deeds wheteher, actions or title, are extreme rarities. Hens’ teeth and rocking horse sh*t are more abundant commodities.
