The Cairo Court for Urgent Affairs will issue on 2 April a verdict in the case publicly known as the “Red Sea islands case”, state-media reported Sunday. The lawsuit at the Urgent Affairs Court was filed by lawyer Ahmed Farahat, opposing the Administrative Court’s annulment of the deal. Opponents to the deal took the case to the Administrative Court at the State Council with the government as their legal adversary. The government tried to halt the annulment by appealing to the Urgent Affairs Court. A third argument made by government and parliament officials said the Constitutional Court should first define which judicial body has a say in the case.
