Julius Caesar de Miranda

De Miranda was of the opinion that the governor should no longer be the subject of the Dutch Minister for the Overseas territory parts, but responsible with his administration over the Surinamese community.

[3] On 17 June 1949, De Miranda passed a law that the word colony was no longer allowed to be used in combination with Suriname in legal documents.

[6] The government fell over the Hospital Question in which Lou Lichtveld as Minister of Health had fired doctor Henk van Ommeren over alleged irregularities which were later proven false.

[2] On 12 April 1956 he became President of the High Court of Justice which he remained until he died eight months later at the age of 50, on 28 November 1956 about 2 o'clock in the morning, to a coronary thrombosis.

[2] Julius Caesar de Miranda was not only an exceptional Surinamese, but also an authoritative jurist who has contributed much to the legal science in Suriname,[3] and a mentor and teacher to Jagernath Lachmon.
