The Judges of the Fiji Court of Appeal use a truly profligate number of paragraphs to get to a Declaration that the President may appoint a caretaker Prime Minister.
They said this was for the purpose of advising that fresh elections be held. This was said to be part of his prerogative.
They also said that the Court could not interfere with the manner in which the President exercised the prerogative.
The President promptly appointed Commodore Bainimarama. Elections are intended in about 5 years. That is the usual period for English elections.
The Government used English counsel in the appeal. It possibly had their advice as to the use to which the Declaration could be put in making the appointment. Declarations can be very narrow documents.
But the rest of it appears to be Fiji politics as usual.
