GRENADE POSSESSION Validity Of Local Regulations Under Challenge
Before the Full Court this morning, compris- ing the Chief Justice, Sir Gerard Howe, the Senior Puisne Judge (Mr Justice Gould) and the Acting Puisne Judge (Mr Justice Scholes), Mr Brook Å. Bernacchi commenced argument on his submission that section 116 (1) sub-section 1 (a) of the Emer- gency Regulations which carries the death penalty for the unlawful possession of hand grenades, bombs or mines, was ultra vires, null and void.
Mr Bernacchi, who is instructed by Mr Peter Mo, of Wilkinson and Grist, said that he would put his case as high as this: he would say that the Order-in-Council by His Excellency the Governor was absolutely null and void and that it was nothing more than an act by the Governor to legal- ise State murder.
