Samoa to have final ruling on FAST swearing-in

Samoa looks set to have a final ruling on whether the election-winning FAST Party's impromptu swearing-in as government will be officially recognised.
The Court of Appeal today granted applications from the Attorney General to hear an appeal and stay of execution against the Supreme Court's 28 June ruling that parliament must sit by 4pm Monday, 5 July.

The Supreme Court judged that a breach of its ruling would compel the court to revisit FAST's ad hoc swearing-in on 24 May, and find in the newcomer party's favour.
