- A Kiribati court has ruled that a High Court judge in the Pacific Island nation who has been suspended by the president cannot be deported to Australia where he was born until parliament considers the findings of a tribunal examining a complaint against him.
Kiribati will hold national elections this year, and Lambourne appeared in court last month seeking to have his suspension overturned. In his Tuesday ruling, High Court Commissioner Aomoro Amten said that although Lambourne's suspension is valid, it was unconstitutional to withhold his salary, and he must not be deported until parliament considers the outcome of a tribunal that is yet to deliver a report.
Lambourne's lawyers had argued in court that none of the allegations made against him - including a disputed claim he took too long to make judgements - justified the president forming a tribunal to investigate his removal from office.
