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.
