THE PARK CASE.
MINISTER’S ACTION ILLEGAL. By telegraph.—Press Association, Mr. Justice Salmond delivered a judgment in the Park case to-day. The Minister for Education had instructed an inquiry to be held into certain statements alleged to have been made by Miss Park, a school teacher, of Carterton, in connection with her school duties. Plaintiff claimed that the regulation under which the Minister was proposing to suspend or cancel her certificate was ultra vires and, if valid, the Minister had shown such bias as to disentitle him to exercise the discretion conferred on him by the regulation; Mr. Justice Salmond said: If, as I have held, the regulation under which the Minister proposes to act is ultra vires and void, the action proposed by him would not merely be a nullity in respect of plaintiff’s certificate, but would constitute an actionable injury to plaintiff. There will be an injunction restraining the Minister from cancelling or suspending the eertifioate.
