Hellow learned fellows,
I am a respondent in an Appeal to The High Court (Labour Division) representing myself, where the Appellant is represented by a professional Advocated.
What bothers me is not the fact that I don't have legal representation as I am proportionately competent to argue my case. My concern is that the Appellant's legal representative has supported an application for appeal with an affidavit in which he has intentionally made the following false claims:
1. That, the mediator was also an arbitrator in the same matter,
2. That, the mediator did not issue a certificate of mediation, and
3. That, the two issues above amounted to material irregularity that amounts to the breach of justice.
Both of the first two claims are utterly false, as the mediator and arbitrator were different and the mediation certificated was issued to both parties.
Moreover, the legal representative has, at all times been accompanied by the Appellant's HR representative, where the latter works for a religious institution which, essentially, is and ought to be an instrument of justice peace-building, and not an agent of conflict brewerying. Nonetheless, the HR representative condones this malicious strategy.
Under the legal framework governing the legal profession, and especially, the profession of legal advocacy, to which punshments can a an advocate who lies under oath be subjected?
Thanx.
