The PCoI was informed that Additional Solicitor General Neil Unamboowe PC who led the evidence had retired from the Attorney General’s Department but would continue to assist the PCoI as a PC.
Justice Goonaratne said Neil Unamboowe PC could assist the Commission because the AG’s Department had issued him a certificate of Fiat retaining him as the counsel for the duration of the PCoI proceedings.
He said the Fiat certificate produced at the PCoI was accepted as a standard practice followed since colonial times and the Commission was aware of the counsel’s retirement from the AG's Department. (Yoshitha Perera)
