When the Tribunal Shields Itself, Not Justice

Accountability doesn’t vanish because a tribunal declares a matter “closed.” Yet that is precisely

what occurred at the Capital Markets Tribunal on January 9, 2026.

In a stunning display of coordinated deflection, Chief Adjudicator Timothy Moseley allowed his fellow adjudicator Andrea Burke to decide a motion on her own alleged bias, then allowed that same adjudicator to dismiss the case entirely. No hearing. No opportunity to respond. No public explanation.

When concerns were raised about improper standing, procedural fairness, and selective publication of tribunal records, the response was silence. Or worse, evasion. The tribunal leadership closed ranks not to protect justice, but to protect itself.

This is not how justice is administered in a democratic country. When a regulatory body loses sight of its duty to the public and instead serves institutional alliances, it is no longer a tribunal

— it becomes an echo chamber of impunity.

Adjudicators are not above the principles they are entrusted to uphold. When they breach those principles, the law and the public must respond.
