Pakorn Reveals Submission of Explanation on 400 Billion Baht Loan Decree to Constitutional Court

Pakorn revealed that the explanation regarding the 400 billion baht loan emergency decree has been submitted to the Constitutional Court. He indicated that the next steps depend on the court's discretion, with anticipation whether the court will issue a ruling immediately or call for further clarification.


On 29 May 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapunt disclosed the progress regarding the Constitutional Court's order to submit an explanation about the 400 billion baht loan emergency decree. He said the government compiled the details and submitted the explanation to the court on 26 May. This explanation was based on information previously presented to the Cabinet and was organized according to the court’s queries, maintaining factual accuracy without any amendments.


Regarding the legal procedures going forward, Pakorn stated that the process must follow legal protocols and depends on the Constitutional Court's discretion, as the court has not issued an order to suspend duties or halt enforcement. Various outcomes are possible in the next steps.


Pakorn explained that if the court considers the information sufficient—since the issue concerns a legal question rather than factual matters—the Constitutional Court might proceed to deliver its ruling within the 60-day timeframe. If the court deems the information insufficient, it has the authority to order additional explanations. All these decisions rest within the court’s jurisdiction.
