Suspended Chief Justice Daniel Fatiaki will take legal action to stop any inquiry to be conducted against him as the Attorney General's chambers awaits confirmation on the appointment of the three member tribunal soon.

Speaking to Village news from Brisbane last night, Fatiaki's Lawyer John Apted confirmed that he is under instructions from his client to initiate legal action against the tribunal as soon as the members are named.

It is not known at this stage whether Fatiaki will include the action in his current case regarding his suspension from office or file a separate action to ensure the Inquiry does not go ahead.

At a press conference yesterday, Interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum said they expect the Tribunal to commence work within the next few weeks. He revealed that a Council will also be appointed to assist the Tribunal as the charges against the suspended Chief Justice have already been drawn up.
