Hi bull_dozer,

"Bare in mind, even if AVQ win, SMM have the right to appeal and vice versa.."

I am not too sure about that; I thought the decision of the High Court is final.

See the 3rd point from http://www.paclii.org/sb/courts.html:

HIGH COURT

· Has unlimited original civil and criminal jurisdiction.

· Appeals lie to the High Court as of right from all civil judgments, orders and decisions of any magistrates' court except where it is made by consent, ex parte or relates to costs only. In those cases special leave of the Magistrates' court, or of the High Court is required.

· Hears appeals from the Customary Land Appeal Court on questions of law, other than customary law, or where failure to comply with a procedural requirement is alleged. The decision of the High Court is final.

· Has a criminal appellate jurisdiction which is defined in part IX of the Criminal Procedure Code. Appeals lie as of right. There is also an appeal by way of case stated.
