s argument as contained in their Statement of Claim is that there has been a failure on the part of the 1st Defendant to observe the law governing the appointment of the Chiefs under the Rotuman Act.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14421377  
}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16479837\charrsid14421377 The failure amounts to a breach of duty.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14421377  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16479837\charrsid14421377 
The purported breaches are detailed in their Statement of Claim.
\par 
\par The Defendants deny any action in contravention of the Act.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14421377  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16479837\charrsid14421377 They equally deny that the claim by the Plaintiff\rquote

But while they may question who the Plaintiffs purport to represent, the fact that at least 3 of them are eligible for the election to be the Chief of Oinafa, is sufficient to establish their locus to bring the action.
