Rhodesia Court Rules Smith Government Unlawful Yet Valid Actions Stand
The Rhodesian high court ruled the independence constitution and the Smith government unlawful but said the existing emergency regulations could stand to prevent chaos. Justices held the government is the effective authority and allowed measures that could have been taken under the 1961 constitution to preserve peace and order. The decision preserves emergency rules while declaring the new regime illegitimate.
