Following the impossibility of obtaining the confirmation of a date for the installation of the members already certified, of the Superior Council of Judicial Power (CSPJ), after the meeting of Friday [date of an earlier ultimatum] with Me Michel Brunache the Minister of Justice, the Bars Federation of Haiti (FBH) and the National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH), had announced last Friday, in protest, a work stoppage of 24 for Monday, April 16 in 2012.

Following this day strike, followed by over 90% according to Me Carlos Hercules new President of the Order of Lawyers of Port-au-Prince, the latter declared "it is a success, [...] it was a complete work stoppage because the actors have became aware of the importance of CSPJ in the practice of justice in Haiti and that is why they responded positively to this appeal, I would say to over 90% [...]

So all negotiations must turn around these two fundamental elements [...]

I give the benefit of the doubt to everyone, even to the President of Republic, when a member of his office says he will receive us this week [...] we hope he recovers quickly, that he gives us that day, thaw we meet with him, and that the discussions be successful [...]"
