THE PRIME Minister and the National Security Council (NSC) have been ordered to pay 50 per cent of former police commissioner Gary Griffith’s legal costs for his partial success over plans to lay the executive summary of an audit into the police firearms registry in Parliament.

FORMER commissioner of police Gary Griffith convinced the High Court to prevent the Prime Minister and the National Security Council (NSC) from laying any part of a controversial firearm user's licence (FUL) audit report in Parliament.

THREE Appeal Court judges will on Wednesday say if an injunction against the Prime Minister from publishing the contents of a controversial firearm user’s licence (FUL) audit report in Parliament, should remain in place.

THE Prime Minister still cannot lay any part of a controversial firearm licence audit as the Court of Appeal says this seems to be “some way off” since those who may have been named in it have not been given an opportunity to respond to any allegation against them.

FIVE days before Christmas, the Appeal Court will hear and determine an urgent application by the Prime Minister to overturn a High Court ruling which prohibits him from publishing a report into a firearm licence audit.

In what some say is a first, the Prime Minister has been restrained by the court from laying any part of a controversial firearm user’s licence (FUL) audit report in Parliament.
