UPNG SRC contempt case 2016

Court: Personally serve UPNG SRC lawyer the contempt motion

This should happen before the court can hear its motion.

The university filed a motion on July 11 seeking contempt charges against Laken Lepatu Aigilo, the lawyer representing Kenneth Rapa as SRC president and his other SRC members.

The matter came before Justice Hitelai Polume-Kiele today, who adjourned the hearing to Sept 13, after Aigilo told the court he was not personally served the motion.

The court said contempt charges sought must be served personally on the alleged contemnor before it can be heard.
