Supreme Court INJUNCTION SOUGHT
Suspension of
girls
An application for an interim injunction to restrain the board of governors of the Christchurch Girls’ High School from suspending two pupils, Wendy Ann Rich and Helen Patricia Leonard, both aged 16, from the school, has been filed in the Supreme Court. It will be heard tomorrow.
An application has also been filed for a writ of certiorari to have quashed the decision of the board of October 24 to suspend the two girls until the end of the current school year and then expel them on the ground that they “organised a protest at the school calculated to incite other pupils to defy the school’s authority."
The grounds alleged in the application for the writ are that the board’s decision was unlawful, void, and of no effect and that it would cause irreparable damage to the academic careers of both girls. Mr S. G. Erber filed the applications on behalf of the plaintiffs.
