IN response to an application from Royston King for Orders of Certiorari, relative to the appointment of Carol Sooba as Town Clerk, acting Chief Justice Mr. Ian Chang, S.C., has granted an Order Nisi (a conditional order) calling on the Minister of Local Government to show cause why his decision should not be quashed.

The matter which was issued by Messrs Hughes, Fields & Stoby will come up for hearing before the Chief Justice on Monday, December 23rd, when it is expected lawyers representing the Town Clerk will ask for leave to file an affidavit in answer.
Reports state that there were four candidates who were interviewed for the position of Town Clerk, namely Paul Clark, Daren Khan, Carol Sooba and Royston King. (George Barclay)
