What is a Section 18 Supreme Court Reference

 It appears the Opposition has taken a step forward and filed an application in the Supreme Court as a reference under Section 18 (1) of the Constitution.

This provision allows any ordinary citizen who is aggrieved by Constitutional matters can file.

But why has the Opposition taken this course?

Plainly, it's a strategy to ensure they are not recognised by the court as having legal standing.


They will correct their mistakes and come back for a second bite at the same apple through Sect 19 (1).


This section is used by Constitutional office holders and the leader of the Opposition is one.
