November 1995
The President and Speaker are not suable as public officers for official acts; such challenges should proceed through the Attorney General, and declaratory relief requires sufficient interest.
Constitutional procedure – suits against State officers – President and Speaker not "public officers" for personal suability; official acts to be sued through Attorney General – Presidential immunity under s.91(1) but office subject to court orders – parliamentary privilege for Speaker – locus standi and limits on declaratory relief.
