The Constitutional Court issued a ruling in a case brought forward by Brian Tonna against Speaker Anglu Farrugia. The court said that in the absence of the proof, Tonna cannot be considered a victim of a breach of the fundamental right to a fair hearing. The court said that this position was made clear by the Speaker in the ruling delivered on 19 April 2021. The court overturned the parts of the original judgement regarding the fundamental right to fair trial being breached, now finding that it wasn't.
