The Chamber of Advocates has called on the Commission for the Administration of Justice to fast-track its investigations into the claims that have led to the impeachment motions against Judge Raymond Pace and Judge Lino Farrugia Sacco.
But given that Pace has handed in his resignation earlier today, the Commission now only has to investigate the impeachment motion with regard to Farrugia Sacco who has refused to resign from the bench.
In a statement, the Chamber of Advocates expressed its concern.
"We feel that the current situation is undermining the public's faith in the Judiciary and needs to be resolved in the shortest time possible in the national interest," the Chamber said.
"We are therefore appealing both to the Commission for the Administration of Justice as well as to Parliament to conclude the investigations and decide on the motions in the shortest time possible and before Parliament is dissolved on 7 January 2013."
