They have protested by marching to Bangkok to deliver a petition to the Prime Minister requesting him to use Section 44 of the constitution to cease construction of the project.

An Executive Committee of the Court of Justice has commented that it would not be able to meet the demands of stopping construction and demolishing the building project as there may be concerns for “legal repercussions”. Sarawut Benjakul, secretary-general of the office says that the Office would be sued for violating the contract and has to give in to compensation demands.
