Appeal – General Assembly – Cancel Meeting – Fraud - Evidence
This case involved a request to cancel a meeting which had been held because it was stated this had been in violation of relevant statutes. It was stated the court was wrong not to ask for evidence that an application had been received from General Assembly members to hold the meeting to take action on a fraud. This was irrelevant because the plaintiffs were not party to the document they claimed was a forgery.
Background
The plaintiffs filed a case against the defendants requesting the nullification of a meeting held on 24/07/2007 because the second defendant had called for the conference in violation of Article 29 of a Statute, which would have to be either from the General Secretariat of the Assembly or at the request of one third of its members. The court issued a ruling dismissing the case. The plaintiffs appealed the decision before the Court of Appeal who confirmed the appealed ruling.
