AUTHOR: Charles Dickens (1812–70)
QUOTATION: “If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble,… “the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience.”
ATTRIBUTION: CHARLES DICKENS, Oliver Twist, chapter 51, p. 489 (1970). First published serially 1837–1839.
SUBJECTS: Law

It appears as far as Fiji is concerned nothing has changed in 173 years. One wonders what Charles Dickens would write about the government decrees put in place to restrict Fiji Pensioners from taking legal action against the FNPF to recover monies legally due to them.

What would he write about Greg Bullard ?, and he could write volumes on the evidence put forward by William Marshal Q.C. in his petition to the Fiji Prime Minister and his Military Council which was disregarded, or possibly never read by them.
Final Petition of William R Marshall_rvse

There are vast opportunities for writers the like of Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare at the present time in Fiji, where the law still seems to be an Ass.
