SUVA - A judge of the Fiji High Court, who yesterday cleared the way for national elections next month, says he agrees with comments by the former Chairman of the Great Council of Chiefs, Sitiveni Rabuka, that the country is still not out of the woods.
Justice Michael Scott agreed there is still the potential for disruptions to law and order.
The judge ruled yesterday that President Ratu Josefa Iloilo's decision to dissolve parliament, dismiss Mahendra Chaudhry as Prime Minister and appoint a caretaker government - were made on the grounds of neccessity.
Eight pro-democracy activists had taken the President to court, claiming he had acted illegally in the wake of last year's coup.
As a result of the judgment, the President is expected to call elections for late August.
