Internal developments

Another summer has passed in a flash; as the Courts of Justice commence a new forensic year, the StateCareAndMore.eu e-journal is resuming its work too. Like the Honourable Members of the Maltese Judiciary, we never really stopped over the summer months; as the judgements written over the summer are handed down this month, we are happy to present the fruit of our own summer work, namely a new section called 'Court Library'. This section was made possible firstly thanks to the Rector of the University of Malta, Prof. Juanito Camilleri, who accepted our request to sponsor a student worker during the summer months to do research. The student, Ms Annalies Azzopardi, who graduates LLD this November, summarised no less than ninety-seven local court judgements under the supervision of Prof. Kevin Aquilina, and organised them according to topic.

These ninety-seven court judgements all concern Public Law, and cover topics such as judicial review of administrative action, natural justice and governmental liability. Annalies in our opinion did an excellent job over a mere ten weeks, but the stark reality is that the StateCareAndMore.eu Team has in its possession several hundred judgements on natural justice, judicial review of administrative action, governmental liability, employment-related issues, respect for fundamental human rights, etc., etc.. When we manage to find another sponsor, we will continue from where we are now leaving off.

If anybody wants to come forward in this respect, they are welcome. All sponsors will be acknowledged and their websites hyperlinked too. In the meantime, the University of Malta – sponsored compilation is available online, at the disposal of our visitors.  

Also available online, is the work of a number of law students namely Mr Stephen Tonna, Ms Sephora Agius, Ms Martha Mifsud, Mr John Axiak, Ms Vincienne Pace, Mr Clement Mifsud Bonnici and Mr David Testa, who out of their own generosity offered to summarise yet more court judgements. The StateCareAndMore.Eu Team accepted their offer and gave them a free hand in choosing the judgements to work on; the only request we made was that they make sure that they do not duplicate the work being done by Ms Annalies Azzopardi.  

The StateCareAndMore.eu Team is greatful to these generous students for their contributions, and wish them a successful academic year at University.
