Three lawyers but no legal understanding

Mar 29, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am not a lawyer but I do know a thing or two about the law.  I know that a court ruling, unless and until it is set aside, is binding and enforceable.  That the court ruling is preliminary or provisional is irrelevant to its force and binding effect.
Indeed almost every injunction granted is a preliminary or provisional ruling. Not even a layman would argue that an injunction so granted has no binding effect and force because it is preliminary or provisional!
The argument of the Alliance For Change [AFC] that the Chief Justice’s ruling in the Budget Cut Case filed by the Attorney-General is not binding on the National Assembly because it is preliminary or provisional is simply outrageous.  That this party has three lawyers in its executive simply magnify this outrage.
I am sure that those who think that the President was harsh when he recently described one of them as a beast of burden must be reconsidering their position.
