The members of the Paphos Bar Association have submitted their resignation in protest
On members of the Paphos Bar Association have submitted their resignation to the President of the Cyprus Bar Association in protest at the council's many and frequent confrontations with the President of the Paphos Bar Association.
In their letter, the members of the Paphos Bar Association note that the operating guidelines of the Paphos Bar Association council were not followed by the president, according to their claims, leaving the council exposed. They consider that their resignation is a one-way street and is submitted in protest against the damaging actions of the president of the Paphos Bar Association.
Indicatively, the outgoing council states that the issue of the Paphos Bar Association club was one of the main causes of the confrontation between them. As they argue in their letter "the president of the Paphos Bar Association about a year ago, without any approval of the council and ignoring their comments, entered into an agreement with a company on terms favourable to the company and unfavourable to the Bar Association" and, among other things, refer to a possible conflict of interest.
According to the resigned lawyers of the Paphos Bar Association, the issue of the club causes controversy to this day. They also point out that the members requested an extraordinary meeting on the club issue and the issue of terminating the unfavourable contract was raised, but according to their claims the president stubbornly refused to set a meeting and as a result the opportunity for termination was again lost
