The Supreme Court of Fiji has paved the way for future constitutional reform by stating only two-thirds MPs have to vote for changes.
The much-criticised 75% MPs threshold has been removed.
Out of the 55 MPs in Parliament, only 36 now have to vote in favour of any Constitution amendments.
In March the Constitution Amendment Bill got 40 votes in support.
In its landmark opinion, the Court ruled that any amendment to the 2013 Constitution must be passed by a two-thirds majority of all Members of Parliament at the second and third readings. However,.
Yhe Court also held that a simple majority of those who actually vote in the referendum is sufficient to make a constitutional amendment legally effective.
The ruling also clarified that the 2013 Constitution is the legally effective constitution of Fiji, while the 1997 Constitution is no longer valid.
