Qurai v Attorney General of Fiji [2017] FJHC 465; HBM16.2017 (29 June 2017)

IN THE HIGH COURT OF FIJI
AT LAUTOKA
CONSTITUTIONAL JURISDICTION.

Constitutional Redress Application No. HBM 16 of 2017

SOLOMONI QURAI

v

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF FIJI

Date of Ruling: 29 June 2017

RULING

[1] The applicant applies for constitutional redress to remedy his perceived breach of a legal right to argue any ground he wishes before the Supreme Court of Fiji.

[2] He deposes in his accompanying affidavit to having been refused by the Apex Court to argue a new ground of appeal, never argued in the Court of Appeal nor in the Supreme Court.

[3] He fails to provide any chronological evidence and it suspected that this application may offend the 30 day limitation.

[4] Nevertheless, if it is a timely application, then the rights he perceives to be breached are limited in terms of section 6(5)(c) where respect must be accorded to the Supreme Court’s peculiar code of procedure authorized by law.

[5] The application is frivolous and will not be entertained.
