HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY TO PROCEED WITH SPEAKER EXEMPT MOTION DESPITE PROTESTS
Written by Fuze Social Team on November 2, 2021
Despite protest action and calls to withdraw a motion to exempt the Speaker of the House of Assembly Julian Willock from paying legal fees for a case he lost, Premier Andrew Fahie is said to be still determined to move forward with the motion.
Willock had filed an injunction in the court to stop the 3 Commission of Inquiry lawyers from continuing to practice until they were called to the local bar. The injunction failed because he did not get the support of the Attorney General and he was ordered by the court to pay 121 thousand dollars in legal fees to the defendants. Premier Fahie told the House Monday that the motion is not about an individual but about an official office.
