Case against JTA dismissed

AMMAN — The West Amman Court on Sunday dismissed a lawsuit to dissolve the Jordan Teachers’ Association (JTA) council due to “lack of interest”. The lawsuit was filed against the JTA council by parents, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The court decision referred to a Court of Cassation decision that stipulated having an interest by the plaintiff for the case to be accepted, as the civil case must aim to defend a right or prevent attacks on a right.

Teachers and the government on October 6 signed an agreement under which teachers agreed to end their month-long strike after having their demand for an apology and rise in wages met.
