Lawyers say they have been erased from Nicaragua's official register without notice. The court has not responded, and notaries authenticate property deeds.
Key Facts
—The claim. A judicial source says about 2,000 lawyers and notaries have been deleted from the Supreme Court’s register.
—The consequence. Anyone absent from that register cannot file court documents, represent clients or execute notarial deeds.
—The evidence. Named lawyers say they searched the public database and found themselves gone, with no notice and no disciplinary process.
—The silence. Neither the Supreme Court nor Ortega’s government has said anything about it.
