In the same judgment, the JCPC overturned the decision of the Supreme Court and restored the conviction and sentence of the Intermediate Court. 5. In May of the same year, 2007, he applied before the Supreme Court for his case to be re-opened before the Intermediate Court in light of further new evidence that was not available to him at the time of the initial trial. On 18 May 2007 the Supreme Court dismissed the application. He further applied for leave to appeal against this decision to the JCPC, which application was also dismissed on 20 June 2007 because it did not raise any questions of great general or public importance - a precondition for appeals to the JCPC. 6. Following the restoration of his conviction and sentence by the JCPC, and upon a report of the Attorney General to the Chief Justice, the Complainant was summoned and appeared before the Supreme Court on several occasions to show cause why disciplinary proceedings should not be taken against him pursuant to the provisions of the Law Practitioners Act and the Code of Ethics for Barristers. During those appearances, he lodged several objections regarding the constitution of the bench that was set up to hear the disciplinary charges, but the objections were dismissed. 7. After several changes, the disciplinary charge was ultimately that his conviction for conspiracy committed in the pursuit of his profession as a Barrister rendered him unfit to practice as a Barrister-at-Law. This charge was no longer based on provisions of the Law Practitioners Act. Instead, the Supreme Court invoked its inherent jurisdiction. 8. The Court eventually admitted his conviction as prima facie evidence and on 30 January 2008 found him guilty of professional misconduct. On the same date the Court ordered the Complainant's name to be struck off the Roll of Law Practitioners upon which the Complainant ceased practic;ing as a Barrister-at-Law. 9. However, after his disbarment, the Complainant acting as a litigant in person initiated several court proceedings against judicial officers including the then Chief Justice, other state officials, and private persons, at all times settling motion papers and other documents by himself and in his own name. c, ... .
