The Director of the CLP Examination Mr. Muniandy Kannyappan:
The LPQB finally sits to decide on the results. A Board paper
is prepared by the office of the Director of the CLP examination which is tabled
together with a Master List of the marks of candidates. At this stage the name
of candidates are revealed to the LPQB for the first time.
• The LPQB at all times will agree to the recommendations
made by the Committee of Examiners, so long it meets the LPQB guidelines.
• The LPQB is always magnanimous in allowing a candidate to
pass the examination in order to enable him to enter the legal profession to
practice. This negates any form of notion that the LPQB is all out to fail a
candidate of the CLP examination. The decision by the LPQB is always merit based
and not on anything else.
• The LPQB leans towards allowing candidates to pass the
examination (for example where they have fallen short in one paper) where the
circumstance merit it.
• It makes no reference to the identity of the candidates in
terms of race.
• It also makes no reference to percentage of passes. Results
tabled are left as it is according to the marks awarded by the markers which has
been examined by the Committee of Examiners.
• It is also heedful to the report put forward by the Chief
Paper Setter for each of the CLP subject who states in no uncertain terms that
the answer scripts are marked to a standard consistent with the requirement for
a person to practice as a qualified lawyer which is the very purpose of the CLP
examination.
