(Reuters) - An Australian-born High Court judge whose aborted deportation two years ago from Kiribati sparked a judicial crisis in the Pacific Islands nation will appear in court on Tuesday, in a case closely watched by the United Nations and international legal groups.
David Lambourne, who has lived in Kiribati for 30 years and is married to Opposition leader Tessie Lambourne, was issued an interim visa in January to stay in the country until a judgement in his case, to be heard this week, court documents show. If he loses the case, the government has said he should be deported.
