Al-Tamimi: The Federal Court’s decision to dissolve Parliament and transform the government into a caretaker administration is constitutional.
Constitutional law expert Ali Al-Tamimi confirmed on Tuesday that the Federal Court’s decision issued on Monday regarding the dissolution of the House of Representatives and the transformation of the government into a caretaker government is a constitutional decision, explaining that the authority to dissolve does not belong to the parliament itself, as some believe, but is based on Article (56) of the Federal Court’s internal law.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the Federal Court’s decision came in response to a request for clarification regarding the expiration date of the current parliament’s term,” explaining that “the decision is based on the provisions of Article (56) of the court’s internal law, which makes it constitutional and effective.”
He added that “the court clarified that election day is the dividing line between the current parliament and the new parliament, and that the term of the current council ends on this date,” noting that “the court’s decision is final and binding on all authorities based on Article (96) of the Constitution.”
It is worth noting that the Federal Court issued a decision yesterday, Monday, to dissolve Parliament and transform the government into a caretaker administration, while affirming that the President of the Republic will continue to perform his duties as one of the two components of the executive branch until after the new parliamentary elections are held.
