“Good riddance. Go your way.” These were the words expressed by outspoken Senior Counsel Israel Khan shortly after Chief Justice Ivor Archie announced his decision to retire at some point in the next year.
Speaking with the media after Archie announced his retirement during his address at the opening of the 2025/2026 Law Term, Khan, who had repeatedly called on Archie to resign over the past seven years, said he was pleased with the outcome.
Khan noted that he was criticised by conservative members of the legal fraternity for his ardent views on Archie’s continued tenure, especially earlier this year when he symbolically destroyed a portrait of Archie that previously adorned a wall of his office alongside those of other post-Independence chief justices.
