By  BRYAN KRAMER On 8th January 2015, the National Court (NC) Judge Justice Cannings granted interim injunction (temporary stop order) preventing the Public Prosecutor (PP) and Leadership Tribunal (LT) from convening on 26th January 2015 to inquire into allegations of misconduct against the Prime Minister. The request to stay (stop) the LT was made by the PM's lawyers on the grounds that PP exceeded his Constitutional powers in the manner in which he referred the PM to the LT. They argued the LT should be stayed until the Supreme Court (SC) first determines (answers) the Constitutional questions whether PP exceeded his Constitutional powers in the manner or procedure in which he referred the PM to face the LT.

For example, they can be recovered, as in the

By JOHN PASSINGAN   PPL has been bankrupt for years,  often having to borrow to keep its operations going. The only difference now is that the Minister responsible, Ben Micah, and his conman boss the Prime Minister, Peter O’Neill, have ripped so much money out of it that it is now impossible to rescue. No, there are two reasons for the O’Neill-Micah emergency action. The first is to get the police and the army out in force before, during and after the Leadership Tribunal to ensure that no matter what the finding, the Prime Minister remains Prime Minister. It is well known in political circles that O’Neill has taken legal advice on various options for declaring a State of Emergency, and possibly issuing a Defence Force Call-Out, and there is no doubt that this most evil of Prime Ministers will do anything to keep hold of the reins of power. There is no reason at all to take emergency action to collect Government debts to SOEs. The most effective method -
