All People's Congress v National Action For Social Mobilization Secretariat (NASMOS)
Supreme Court of Sierra Leone, 26 October 1999
This is an important constitutional law decision in which the Supreme Court analyzed the operation of s 133(1) of the 1991 Constitution which gives citizens the right to make claims against the Government of Sierra Leone without the need for a petition of right. The judgment includes a useful analysis of how actions against the Crown and Government evolved over the years, and the principles of statutory interpretation in the context of the Constitution. Reported by Junisa P Bangali.

Dear Mr Vandi - thank you for your positive feedback. We have a copy of the judgment in Gabriel Mohamed Tennyson Kai-Kai and 13 others v The State, 1989 and will publish this next. We cannot find a copy of Berthan Macauley v Jim Diamantopoulos, 1962. Are you able to send us the text of the judgment or source this somewhere? If so, please send to ruleoflawpublishing@gmail.com and we can also prepare the report.
This is a wonderful initiative to bring alive Law reporting in Sierra Leone. To the pioneers of this project, thank you. However, there are few cases I have tried to check out but not available, would appreciate if they are uploaded.
