Dear Editor,
Two strikes against it and court costs mount. FGM’s legal challenge to GECOM was dismissed by the Appeal Court, with the court labelling the case “most unmeritorious” and saying it “does not meet the bar of a major matter in the public interest”.
From the legal arguments put forward by the appellant, as reported in the media, it can be discerned that they were basically the same arguments as were heard in the High Court. The case failed then; it was bound to fail again.
There ought to be some penalty applied to the appellant’s legal team for filing a case that had no legal basis for succeeding.
Also, the case in both courts included the ALP. Would this party share the settling of the costs as prescribed by the courts?
Yours sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
