A and the Defendant Company Air Pacific Ltd. has entered into a General Agreement pertaining to salaries, Hours of work, Postings, Disciplinary and Grievance procedures; the Defendant guaranteed the APEA equal treatment under the said agreement regarding

heir promotions and/or creation of new jobs or vacancies; the executive committee of the Defendant issued a Recruitment Policy dated 15.1.1990 which is discriminatory and racist in nature; that there is a racial imbalance in the staff intake after 1988; t
he new Recruitment Policy is causing hardship and unfairness to all non indigenous Fijians and Rotuman members of the APEA.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid202413

\par In reply to the written submissions of Mr. Sweetman, Mr. Patel has s
ubmitted that his claim is neither academic nor hypothetical; it concerns the lives of the members depending on their jobs, promotions and postings etc.; the plaintiffs are seeking declarations as to their legal and/or equitable rights; the counsel for th
e Defendant is relying on technicalities; the Defendant being concerned with a National Airline is putting forward a racial Recruitment Policy. He cites De Smith (3rd Edition) 374 & 387.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

for the relief sought by the plaintiff either in fact or in Law. It is apposite to deal with the factual side of the case as Mr. Sweetman sees }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4528265

olicy of the Defendant is necessary to achieve an equitable distribution of indigenous Fijians in all levels relative to national racial parity. It is also a device whereby the best qualified persons can be selected for a particular job regardless of race

On the law Mr. Sweetman seems to confirm that the court has no power to interfere with the policy malting power of a private Company concerning the recruitment of its employees. Above a
ll he emphasises that the court has no power to make declaratory orders in hypothetical cases. Mr. Sweetman has cited Howard v. Pickford Tool Co. (supra). The facts of the above case appear to be very simple although they are factually different from the 
c
ase in hand. I appreciate the ratio decidendi that there is jurisdiction conferred on the court by order 25 r 5 to make declaratory orders in appropriate cases and it should not be used to answer academic questions. The counsel for the plaintiff argued th
a
t it was open for the plaintiff to come to the court and ask for a declaration as to his rights. He further argued that if a party is in doubt as to his rights under an agreement, it should be open to him to apply under Order 25 r 5 for a declaration as t

The essence of a declaratory Judgment is that it states the rights or legal position of the parties as they stand, without changing them in any way, though it may be supplemented by other remedies in suitable cases. T
ypical applications are for finding the meaning of some provision in a will or whether a statement applies to some particular case.'

 and ultimately statutory in England by the introduction of the Rules of Court 1883. The Rule states thus:

make binding declarations of right whether any consequential relief is or could be claimed or not.'

Although this piece of the rule is more than a century old, it is even today getting more and more recognition by the court and the courts are betting more
 and more accustomed to using it very freely. A Declaratory Judgment merely states some existing legal situation. It requires no one to do anything and the disregard of it will not open the way for contempt of court. It helps a party to ascertain what his
 
legal position is on a justiciable matter of course and then decide on other remedies should it become necessary. He will then know whether there is a remedy available or not and if so what sort of action is particularised for that particular remedy. Decl
a
ratory order is by itself a remedy to a person who does not know where he stands in a certain legal situation and it is only the Court of Law that can come to his help. Being ignorant of the legal position either he will have to remain dormant and lose hi
s
 right or remedy or file a wrong action for a right which he does not have and waste his money and also time of court. For example a person cannot pursue matters legally based on pension rights, superannuation allowances or claims on European Convention o
n Human Rights or telephone tapping.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid202413

What is meant by the word relief? When once it is established as I think it is established, that relief is not confined to relief in respect of a cause of action it seems to follow that the word itself mu
st be given its fullest meaning. There is however, one limitation which must always be attached to it, that is to say, the relief claimed must be something which it would not be unlawful or unconstitutional or inequitable for the court to grant or contrav
e
ning to the accepted principles upon which the court exercises its jurisdiction. Subject to this limitation I see nothing to fetter the discretion by the court in exercising a jurisdiction under the rule to grant relief and having regard to general busine
ss convenience and the importance of adapting the machinery by the courts to the needs of suitors, I think the rule should receive as liberal a construction as possible. De Smith's }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

e action - may be contempt or ejectment from the premises or seizure of the property. De Smith seems to be of}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4528265  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

ory orders is contained in Order 15 r 16 of the High Court Rules 1988. This rule is worded in similar fashion in the Supreme Court Practice 1985 being copied verbatim from the former Order 25 r 5 made in 1883. The rule has to be read in conjunction with O
r
der 5 r 4 as demonstrating that an action for a declaration can be begun either by writ or by originating summons. Before 1883 the Common Law Courts did not have Jurisdiction to make declaratory Judgments regarding existing or future rights whereas the Ch
a
ncery courts could made binding declarations provided a right to relief was there in the action which the court could ultimately grant. In other words a bare declaration with no relief claimed was an impossibility. In 1883 Order 25 r 5 made a drastic inno
vation to the issue of declaratory Judgments. It empowered courts to make declaratory Judgments of rights whether or not a }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid202413\charrsid5520046 consequentive}{\rtlch\fcs1

 (supra) the validity of Order 25 r 5 was assailed but it confirmed the proposition that an action can be pursued even without a cause of action which is normally the case. That paved the way for a declaratory Ju
dgment to ascertain and determine rights of parties or for the determination of a point of law. The considerable impetus and importance given to it as a procedural device is significant. As was remarked earlier, declaratory Judgments are based on the disc
r
etion of the court and it will not generally decide academical or hypothetical questions. Every action of a future right cannot be branded hypothetical. It is only hypothetical when an action is pursued in the abstract sense with no foundation of any sort
. The remedy of a declaration is wide and forcible. Yet it will not p}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1593166 ermit a person to file an action}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

 difficulty. A declaration can be granted when there is a breach of an agreement or a threat or intention to commit a breach of an agreement. It must serve a useful purpose. It will refuse if the declaration is unnecessary or embarrassing. Especially when
 there is no relief claimed in the action, the court will be extra careful and cautious in}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4528265  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

eas of conflict and or disagreement. It is also of importance to know whether any such conflict or agreement is justiciable in courts and if it is so the courts can give the relief sought. Mr. Patel emphasised the fact of a conflict and disagreement betwe
e
n the two documents. I have carefully gone through the agreement to find that it is dealing- with thirty seven heads such as leave consultation, contract of employment, disciplinary procedure, grievance procedure, hours of work, leave, medical examination
,
 overtime, postings, redundancy, retirement, uniforms, union recognition and vacancies to mention a few of the many. The heads under which it is dealt with undoubtedly manifest a very comprehensive document touching every conceivable aspect towards achiev
ing harmony and equality and fairness in a workplace for the mutual benefit of the employer and employees.

 ask or seek a reason for the establishment of a Recruitment Policy when there was no problem arising out of the agreement. Even if there was one, still both sides could have come together to determine it. What was the necessity to determine factors which
 
they consider are for the benefit of one race unilaterally. It does not show its bona fides. It is also natural and pragmatic to ask the question whether the collective agreement cannot give all the benefits contemplated in the Recruitment Policy. If it i
s
 not possible to do so, that means there are differences. If there are material differences there should be prior consultation to make it (Recruitment) effective or viable. If not, it becomes a one sided evolution not without bias and discrimination. The 
Union is recognised by the Company. Therefore, in my view, consultation is a condition precedent to any Changes to the agreement.

between the employer and its employees. It is well and good. The Association had tried to hold meetings with the Defendant to prevent the implementation of the Recruitment Policy but failed. That failure on the part of the Association opened the way clear
 to come to court for 'relief'. They have done so. It is correct and proper. Where else can they go? Are they to grin and bear or must they seek a clarification of the situation.

The Company has taken advantage of the missing head to veil the benefits of the agreement. When one goes to the very depth of the Policy, it is not difficult to notice the racial discrimination with a racial advantage to one race or another. That is not f
air and equitable within a constitution established to promote racial harmony. Clauses in any agreement must not be allowed to damage the harmonious racial foundation of a nation. No person of a particular ethnic}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0
