Legislators renewed their attack on the Judiciary over what MPs felt were efforts by the arm of government tasked to interpret the law to meddle with their constitutional duties.

MPs took offence with various orders made by the courts, especially at the High Court, which have gone into stopping Parliament and its committees from handling certain matters pending before them.
