High Court to rule Monday on legality of Malimali’s dismissal

High Court to rule Monday on legality of Malimali’s dismissal
The Suva High Court will deliver its ruling after the judicial review on whether the President, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, and Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, acted under the Constitution to dismiss FICAC Commissioner, Barbara Malimali, on Monday.

The judicial review was earlier granted by High Court Judge Justice Dane Tuiqereqere.

Justice Tuiqereqere was expected to deliver the ruling this afternoon, but says it is not ready yet.

He reassured the court that the ruling is 90 percent complete and will be ready by Monday morning.

Malimali has challenged the legality of her dismissal in June last year after the Commission of Inquiry report.

Her lawyer, Tanya Waqanika, says the President acted on the advice of the Prime Minister, although the law requires the advice to come from the Judicial Services Commission.
