The Attorney General said the government's decision represents a 'serious attempt' to circumvent High Court rulings and undermines the rule of law, according to a statement reported Sunday evening.
The Attorney General's statement came in response to the government's decision to formally inform the High Court that it will not recognize rulings that contradict the law. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday evening, the Attorney General had already warned that the government decision undermines fundamental principles of the rule of law. In her latest response, she sharpened the criticism, calling it a 'serious attempt' to thwart High Court rulings. The dispute is part of a broader confrontation between the executive and judiciary, with the government having previously told the High Court it will not recognize rulings that contradict the law. The Attorney General's office has not yet indicated whether it will take further legal action.
