O’Neill seeks order against Sir Michael

PETER O’Neill has asked the court for restraining orders to stop Sir Michael Somare from performing the duties as prime minister.
The case will be heard in the National Court on Monday.
O’Neill’s lawyers filed proceedings in the National Court on Wednesday seeking the restraining order. But due to some minor corrections to the documents, they were re-filed yesterday.
The National Court registry yesterday set Monday afternoon for the hearing.
It would be an inter-parte hearing, court officials said, meaning the lawyers from both sides would make submissions on Monday.
