Northern Advocate
Those who frequent the Kaitaia courts, particularly the District Court, have long favoured some judges over others. In days gone by the presence of one regarded as stern would prompt a spate of non-appearances as word got around, while more sympathetic ones would prompt a rush of voluntary appearances.
Last week one of the latter was farewelled as his final day sitting in Kaitaia drew to a close.
Judge Keith de Ridder, who had been coming to Kaitaia regularly since 2005, received warm praise from all, from prosecutors and defence counsel, and those who serve the court in a variety of capacities, which according to lawyer Richard Parangi spoke volumes about the way he had served the community.
