The Interim government has appealed against the decision made by the High Court last month to retain the retirement age at 60 and not 55 years in the civil service.

The State has filed 8 grounds of appeal against the decision saying the High Court was wrong in law and fact in finding that PSC and AG's Chambers failed to consult FTA and FPSA prior to the implementation of the new age policy and against comments that the decision was neither proportionate nor rationally connected to the objectives accomplished.

The State now awaits a date from the Fiji Court of appeal on when the case would be called.
