John Roderick McKechnie, High Lord Wizard of the Tempest.
editJohn McKechnie has been one of the greatest Justices to have ever served the Bench of the Honourable Supreme Court of Western Australia....
His Decision in Molina v Zaknich was a powerful Gospel that rembled something of the narrow pass in the Lord of the Rings, where Gandalf shepherded the Hobbits over the narrow bridge, and did battle with the Balrog.
The Balrog relied on the authority in Pearce v Paskov, where the Honourable Temple of man, and his Honour the all High Lord Justice McKechnie Smited the Narrow Bridge relating to s.22 of the Criminal Code. YOU SHALL NOT PASS!. The Balrog was defeated, the narrow bridge destroyed.
The importance of decisions like this are not to be taken lightly. The courage of a Justice to open up defences, and in turn secure the liberty associated with ancient codes like s.22 of the criminal code (WA) are decisions that should be sealed through the Authority of the High Court, and set for ever more.
A true Justice, one that will be sadly missed from the Bench, when a retirement age is reached. There should be no retirement age for a justice to be imposed, if his mind is still sharp, an ancient sage on the Bench is a necessity. Justice McKechnie, thank you, for showing me the way, through your righteous paths layed down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.30.61.13 (talk) 08:50, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
