The Three Member Tribunal appointed to conduct an Independent Inquiry against the suspended Chief Justice Daniel Fatiaki will commence its work from tomorrow.

The Tribunal Secretariat confirmed to Village that the hearing proper is expected to start tomorrow after the administrative matters are dealt with between both counsels and the Tribunal.

The Suspended CJ's Inquiry will take place at the Supreme Court room at the Suva court house and the Secretariat said at this stage the Tribunal is expected to sit for a month unless adjournments are sought from either party.

While the hearing will be open to the public, the Tribunal is also expected to decide tomorrow whether outside submissions and evidence will be allowed to be submitted from members of the public relating to the inquiry. Fatiaki was suspended following allegations of abuse of office in January 2006.

The Tribunal members, Chairman Justice Robert Ellicot, Justice Raymond Sears and Justice Tan Sri Vohrah arrived in the country yesterday and the hearing will start at 9:30 tomorrow morning.
