The High Court is poised to make a crucial decision regarding the suspension of Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh.
This decision comes following a constitutional motion filed by her legal team, who argue that her suspension violates the constitution.
Their case rests on the claim that the Judicial and Legal Services Commission (JLSC), an arm of the regional judicial system, lacked the authority to suspend her.
They contend that only the Governor General, acting on JLSC advice, holds that power.
The hearing, which took place during a special court session, saw competing arguments for about three hours.
Interestingly, the legal team representing Walsh cited a case involving former Commissioner of Police Wendel Robinson as a precedent.
The ruling, expected to be announced on Monday morning, will have significant implications for the ongoing legal battle.
