Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara, Attorney-at-Law - Minister of Justice and National Integration
Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara clarified a point of legal terminology, stating that Sri Lanka does not recognize a title of “Senior Attorney” for private practitioners. He noted that comparable titles apply only to officers of the Attorney-General’s Department and said the clarification was made for the House’s understanding.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, for clarity: there is no title “Senior Attorney” in Sri Lanka. If there were, Hon. Ajith P. Perera could so style himself before court. Only officers of the Attorney-General’s Department bear titles akin to that. I merely clarify this for the House.
