Mr. Justice Garrett Simons informed the parties on July 14^ththat he was agreeable to an extension of time to 24th July with regard to the matter of settling of the Orders that will give effect to his Ruling. It is expected that parties will appear before the judge on this matter soon thereafter.

The Government has 28 days from the date when the Orders giving effect to the High Court ruling are issued to lodge its Appeals. Appeals will be lodged with the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.

As it is before the Courts, it is not possible at this time to estimate when the matter will be concluded. The State will be requesting an expedited hearing as the matter is of significant public interest.
