With the Full Court not currently satisfied of its jurisdiction to grant interim reliefs which High Court Judge Damone Younge has also refused as she too determines her jurisdiction, the eight suspended Opposition MPs will have a longer wait to find out whether they get to attend parliamentary sittings; but the Court did order that their matter be swiftly heard given its public importance.
With the National Assembly officially out of recess from Monday and sittings imminent, the suspended octet was hoping that a Court would grant them interim orders—among them—to attend Parliament, pending the outcome of a challenge to their suspension.
When their appeal to Justice Younge’s refusal came up in the Full Court yesterday afternoon before Justices Jo-Ann Barlow and Sandil Kissoon, the Court underlined its disquiet with the application before it to grant the interim reliefs.
