Watch on - An Australian-born High Court judge whose aborted deportation two years ago from Kiribati sparked a judicial crisis in the Pacific Islands nation will appear in court on Tuesday, in a case closely watched by the United Nations and international legal groups.
One attempt at deportation during legal proceedings in August 2022 failed when a Fiji Airlines pilot refused to accept Lambourne on the plane against his will. The letter also raised concerns that a special tribunal formed by the president to investigate Lambourne is headed by a lay magistrate with no formal legal qualifications, saying his treatment could breach human rights standards.
Kiribati's High Court will hear Lambourne's applications on Tuesday, a court official confirmed to Reuters.
