The Attorney General has made special arrangements to deal with cases, including the case referred to, where prior to his appointment as Attorney General he had acted as counsel for the other party in litigation involving the State. Those arrangements, in summary, are that such cases will be dealt with by his professional staff, with the assistance of the counsel acting for the State in the case and, if necessary, outside counsel.
Where the Minister or Ministers concerned in the case wish to be advised by the Attorney General personally, then in conformity with Article 30 of the Constitution the Attorney General will, as he must, give his advice. If that advice differs from the advice that has been tendered to him by his staff or by outside counsel the Minister will be furnished with those other advices also. The final decision will be a matter for the Minister.
