IHE challenge to the taxing . authority of the British Solo mon Islands Administration — ade on behalf of BSI copra pro icers who feel that they are being o heavily penalised through in me tax—was heard by Judicial jmmissioner Charles in Honiara »t month. Decision was reserved.
It is expected that, whatever the cision, there will be an appeal on institutional grounds to a higher iurt.
The proposed challenge to the ithority of the BSI Copra Board— ade on the same grounds, namely, e validity of an Order in Council ade in 1893—is under legal exam ation still, and no further steps ive been taken.
