The Supreme Court has determined that certain clauses in both the Immigration Bill and the Reciprocal Recognition, Registration and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Bill are inconsistant with the Constitution and would require a 2/3 special parliamentary majority, Deputy Speaker Ajith Rajapakshe informed Parliament this morning.
However, the SC has ruled that the inconsistancies in these bills shall cease if these clauses are amended as set out in the Court's determination, the Deputy Speaker added.
Both bills had been challenged in the SC in terms of Article 121(1) of the Constitution.
