In that case, how long would the meeting last?

Would it be the case of deferring the adjournment sine die?

Art. 613, art. 906 (2) COCP: tiddifferixxi = adjourn

Art. 964 (1) COCP: differita = adjourned.

This should, I believe, settle the matter.

One hopes that the day will dawn when Malta Today will become Malta Yesterday.

No it wouldn’t. It would be put off to another date. It would be postponed if the sitting is called and cannot continue due to some obstacle but can continue later on in the same sitting. And it would be adjourned if the sitting is held and has to continue at a later date.

Yes and no.

No they couldn’t, because they would already be there.

Put off and adjourned are not the same thing. This thing with ‘differed’ is actually quite the same as reading about a ‘compilation of evidence’ or ‘manslaughter’.

Malta was looked at with much high regard only a few weeks ago.
