HIGH COURT OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC
HQLA2005 AN APPEAL OF [HCLQ2003] LEGALITY OF CLOSED LOCAL COUNCIL ELECTIONS |
|
Statement on Case Dismissal:
The High Court of the South Pacific hereby gives notice of the dismissal of [HCLA2005]: Appeal of [HCLQ2003] Legality of Closed Local Council Elections.
The reforms passed by the Assembly and approved by the RMB allowing for Constitutional laws to be passed by the Local Council has given the Local Council the ability to determine the level of access to its elections. The reforms also serves to moot the precedent set by the opinion of [HCLQ2003], as well as render any opinion produced by this ruling [2005] obsolete as well. On the Courts injunction, which was issued on the 20th of August 2020, has already expired, as of the 17th of September 2020. The injunction allowed the Local Council to begin their term despite the election remaining officially unresolved. Now that this case is dismissed and the laws have been changed, the election may (formally) conclude in line with the newly passed laws. It is so ordered.
