Sir ,PMM said:Hi
IMHO I think that the judges reasoning that 87.4 is the "law of the land" in that it was passed by parliament and proclaimed. Although the case was about Mandamus and the writ was filed before 87.4 but not heard to after 87.4 was proclaimed and the applicant wanted a decision on Mandamus that could/would have been made IF 87.4 had not been proclaimed. What I am trying to point out is that the judge is saying 87.4 is the law and terminated pre 2008 applications. I think that the same reasoning will be used on the those applicants who want to have their applications processed although 87.4 terminated those applications.
Thanks for taking your time and prompt response. I want to ask you few more points.
Certification
[45] The Respondent says that it is trite and settled law that the Court has no power to extend its jurisdiction and go against the express intent of Parliament.
[46] The Respondent also says that, in the present case, the Applicant does not challenge the validity of subsection 87.4 of the Act; he simply says that it should not apply to him for no principled reason.
[48] I have to agree with the Respondent. I see no analogy between this case and the situations that arose in Silver or any cases cited therein. In addition, the back-dating that the Applicant requests would be an assumption of jurisdiction in a situation where Parliament has made its intentions clear, so that the Court would be attempting to thwart the clear and express intent of Parliament. I know of no principal or authority that would allow me to do this and I think the law on point is clear. There would be no purpose in certifying the proposed question.
My questions
The words in the judgement is "I have to agree" not "I agree". Is there a differnce in using "have to agree"?
Why the respondent asserts the fact that the applicant did not challenge the validity of the 87.4?.
Sir dont you think that the judgement occured in this way because the applicant did not argue that the law was against constitution.?
pls reply.
