Fischer in court case Johannesburg – The– daughters of Bram Fischer – political activist and former chairman of the Bar Council – will apply for their father to be reinstated to the Roll of Advocates in the Johannesburg High Court today. General Council of the Bar chairman Willem van der Linde said Mr Fischer’s posthumous reinstatement could be granted in terms of the Reinstatement of Enrolment of Deceased Legal Practitioners Act -- or the “Bram Fischer Bill”. Mr Fischer, a former Communist Party leader, was struck from the bar in 1965 for conduct “unbefitting a member of the Bar and the Society” after he skipped bail during his trial on charges of contravening the Suppression of Communism Act of 1950. Mr Fischer died in 1975. – Sapa
