In handing down his decision on Wednesday 3rd of June, Justice David Cannings said there was no slip rule in the judge’s decision on the 6th of August, 2020.
He added that all the grounds that Jerry Singirok relied on were already argued and that the applicant was trying to reargue those grounds, which is not allowed under the test applicable for the grant of leave in slip rule applications.
A relieved Madang Governor said he was happy with the decision and has called on Singirok to take it to the polls come 2022.
