The court document, marked Form 48, warned that failure to obey the earlier rulings could lead to contempt proceedings and eventual jail terms.
Dated February 11, 2026 and signed by the Registrar, the notice signals that enforcement steps may now begin.
The crisis traces back to May 31, 2019, when the state government suspended the NURTW and took control of motor parks over security concerns.
After legal battles from the National Industrial Court to the Court of Appeal, the appellate court ruled that the suspension was unlawful, stating that the government did not present concrete evidence of violence to justify the action.
