Court Opinion
Written by dreckly 19th August 2026, 16:20 PM UTC
The Supreme Court has decided that this request does not meet the requirements per Part 8, Section 10 of the Prosecution Act 2025, which is clear in that the Supreme Court may issue an interpretation for a word or phrase which is not defined or where the definition is not clear.

We are of the opinion that;
Section 2(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2026 clearly outlines what a "Public Authority" is and that the VEC as an "independent executive agency" fits that description. Therefore, there is no ambiguity requiring an interpretation.
