Former Chief Justice (ag) Ian Chang, SC, died yesterday following a battle with cancer.
Chang, who passed away at Dr Balwant Singh’s Hospital, served as Chief Justice between 2006 and 2016, when he retired upon reaching the age of 65.
During his tenure on the bench, he presided over numerous high profile cases and he also led a commission of inquiry intended to reform the disciplined forces, and another that investigated late former Home Minister Ronald Gajraj’s involvement in extra-judicial killings.
