The Jamaican parliament must urgently clarify when, or if, it considers it obligatory to acquiesce to pre-emptive actions by citizens, using the courts, to stop the legislature from taking actions that have implications for public policy, good governance and behaviour in public office.
It is also important for the Court to speak with clarity on its own powers and the bar that should be met for any such action.  In the view of The Gleaner’s Editorial Board, that bar should be extremely high.
