The opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment to raise judges' retirement age continues to grow. BASL President Rajeev Amarasuriya says his estimate is that more than 97% of the legal profession, together with almost the entire judiciary, opposes the move. He says the BASL has now received resolutions from branch bar associations across the country backing its position, with the latest representation coming from the Jaffna Bar Association to President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. "The message from across the profession is becoming increasingly clear, consistent and unequivocal," he said.
