 sufficient for the Court, to be satisfied that there are serious issues either of law or facts that are raised.
\par 
\par Having established the serious issue requirement, and being satisfied that the claim is neither frivolous nor vexatious or that the application discloses a reasonable prospect of success, all that remains is to consider the balance of convenience.}{

\par 
\par In the Court\rquote s view, what it has been asked of it to decide upon as contained in the Plaintiff\rquote s Originating Summons, goes to the is
sue of whether this Court has jurisdiction and therefore the competence to delve into and review the processes and procedures including the decisions of the NLC involving native customs and traditions, that are governed by its own laws and conventions.}{

\par According to the Defendants, there is a multi-million dollar tourist industry project ready to be built on the 2nd Defendant\rquote s land including the disputed land, with the prospect of bringing in much needed income and employment 
to the people of the district including members of the two Mataqalis in question.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid10752462  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6237680\charrsid10752462

On the other hand, the Plaintiff\rquote s position is that his Mataqa
li does not wish to lease the disputed land to the 4th Defendant for the development of a hotel, but rather keep it for the subsistence farming of his own members of Mataqali. In the Court\rquote 
s view, while it is true that the Plaintiff will not be able to restore the disputed land to its original form should the 4th Defendant build on it, he will still be adequately compensated in damages by the 2nd and 4th Defendants.}{

\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid6237680\charrsid10752462 The balance of convenience quite clearly favours the Defendants and the maintenance of the status quo.
\par 
\par I believe that for the time being the injunction granted against the NLTB for the issuance of a formal lease to the 4th Defendant and made at Lautoka on 29th October 2003, while the issue of ownership is being argued, is as far as the Courts should go.}{
