Reply to comment by shadowrun456 in Pointing out spelling mistake leads to contempt conviction for Fiji lawyer by Mamacrass

It does appear to be in the article (somewhat paraphrased and extrapolated):

>The post showed a picture of a judgment that had the word 'injunction' misspelt, with Naidu adding the applicant wanted to have it correctly spelt. ... The Attorney General had described the post as malicious and inviting others to mock the judiciary.

A normal person wouldn't have posted the spelling mistake on Facebook (when a simple note to the judge in private would have sufficed) unless it was to invite comments from the public that were very likely to be embarrassing and disrespectful of the judge.

Thank you for stating the obvious. I was wondering why he was nort getting ti.

Remember that was posted by a lawyer, not the defendant.

the lawyer knows very well this was not the proper channel.
