The Samoan Government has appealed a decision by District Court Judge Mata'utia Raymond Schuster to discharge two men without conviction who pleaded guilty to causing injury.
FAST said it accepts the outcome of the hearing. The court said FAST’s ceremony for its 26 members has been thrown out for now, unless the order to convene parliament properly within a week is not honoured. It warned that anyone who attempts to stop the session from happening, will face court charges and that the ad-hoc ceremony would then be considered lawful if a proper session is not held on time. “Failure to convene Parliament … in our opinion would constitute a change of circumstances that would justify the Court revisiting the issue … so the business of lawful governance of the nation can proceed.”
