Ex-PM's court challenge

Samoa Law Society joins ex-PM's court challenge

TheĀ Samoa ObserverĀ reports the Society is the second respondent - as a friend of the court - in the proceedings lodged by HRPP leader Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi and party secretary Lealailepule Rimoni Aiafi against a decision to suspend them from Parliament "indefinitely".

The pair were found by a special Parliamentary committee to be guilty of contempt of Parliament and bringing Parliament into disrepute.
