What is the scope of Article XXVIII of the Constitution and what is the position of the Court of Appeal on the issue?

The organization's briefs to the panel were even less clear in indicating its position regarding Article XXVIII's proper scope. The briefs were, first of all, quite reticent on the question. However, the arguments asserted in support of the provision were quite sweeping, and seemed most appropriate to an extremely broad prohibition on the use of non-English languages by government officials and employees. Although we would, even absent these briefs, be entirely unconvinced by the proffered limiting construction (see below), we find "[t]hat construction even less plausible in light of the broad purposes that [the appellants] insist[ ] underlie the [provision]."
