It would be interesting to know if due notice calling for the meeting was given by the legal authority under his hand and seal. Should there be a flaw the Speaker would have no choice but to call off the meeting because the meeting of the assembly is flawed and illegal.
One wonders if such a scenario will emanate on the said day.

Ah – imagine. Speaker can report to the police, FRU will be stationed and access to the Assembly Building can be denied. Sauce for the gander?
