NEC Suffers Another Legal Punch

In a ruling on Wednesday 28^th March 2018, and on an application by NEC’s lawyers on grounds seeking to query the jurisdiction of the High Court of Sierra Leone that had heard and entered judgment directing that NEC undertake the conduct of the run-off and other residual elections on Saturday 31t March 2018, the Supreme Court denied NEC’s motion to dismiss or otherwise declare null and void the Judgment entered by Justice Mansaray of even date. The Court ordered that a substantive hearing of NEC’s application for review be adjourned to 5^th April 2018 but in the interim that the orders of Justice Mansaray of the High Court must be complied with in full.
