Court order on Chinese fertilizer
The Colombo Commercial High Court has ordered the People’s Bank to extend its enjoining order on the 19th of this month to prevent the payment to a Chinese company and its local agent for allegedly importing fertilizer containing bacteria and other harmful organisms into the country. The order was issued by Judge Pradeep Hettiarachchi after reconsidering a petition filed by the Colombo Commercial Fertilizer Company today (09). When the case was taken up, the lawyers representing the respondent Chinese Fertilizer Company stated that they had opened the letters of credit of the People’s Bank by submitting legal standards reports. However, the lawyers pointed out that the suspension of payment was an illegal act and asked for a date to file objections to the case. Accordingly, the court directed the lawyers of the respondent party to take steps to present any objections related to the case at a later date.

An appeal from the New Zealand killer?
The man who attacked two mosques and killed 51 Muslims in New Zealand’s Christchurch two years ago is expected to appeal against his “life sentence,” his lawyer said. Brenton Tarrant has said he will be forced to plead guilty and will therefore appeal against the sentence handed down to him by the court. On March 15, 2019, Tarantino stormed two mosques, killing 51 worshipers and injuring 40 others. It was cited as the worst mass shooting ever recorded in New Zealand. Tarrant was jailed for life last year after the trial and will not be pardoned. It is the first time in New Zealand history that an accused has been jailed for life. Tarrant told his lawyer, Tony Ellis, that he had admitted to treating him “inhumanely and very lowly” before the trial began.
