” We specify that the Evaluation Committee breached what had been ordered. No sanction was issued. But the Court did not suspend any jurisdictional action, then we were free to continue with the electoral process and the action of the voter court, ” he said.
The magistrate said that as the Judicial Committee ” she will not comply, we take away the work they have to do. “
