Injunction for dismissed broadcaster next week [1]

Nuku'alofa, Tonga

Friday, June 9, 2017 - 17:19

An injunction filed by the former General Manager of Tonga Broadcasting Commission Nanise Fifita has been adjourned to be heard on Monday, June 12.

William Edwards, counsel for the plaintiff said the injunction would decide whether she stays as General Manager until the main case, or she goes home and to await the trial.

Fifita had initially filed an application for leave for judicial review, the main case, which was granted by the Supreme Court, on 19 May.

This is against the defendants Tonga Broadcasting Commission and the Minister for Public Enterprises for the termination of her employment contract, on 1 May.

The defendants have been served with the statement of claim on 26 May. They now have 28 days to file their defence.

The Supreme Court will deal with the injunction first.

This case was initially set down for Friday, June 2.
