The end of the affair?

The Cambodian Bar Association has decided to cede to the demands of the international community in Cambodia and abroad. It will reduce foreign lawyers fees from $4 900 to $500. The money is a flat registration fee for a foreign lawyer to practise in a Cambodian court. Of course the wrangling, head butting and mudslinging of the past month could have been avoided if the president of the Bar Association had been prepared to negotiate. Curiously although vocal prior to the reduction in fees, Ky Tech has made no statement to date.

Now the ECCC can hold the plenary session to adopt the internal rules and basically get the show on the road.
