Ousted Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase was emotional after the ruling and said he will talk to his lawyers.
He said the ruling against them is a miscarriage of justice.
At a press conference following the ruling Qarase said that certain arguments from their lawyers were not taken into account by the Judges.
Qarase also said that the decisions raised serious questions on the prerogative powers vested upon the President which needs to be looked into in the way it is phrased in the Constitution.
However, Interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said Qarase should speak to his lawyers first before making such statements.
The SDL is now consulting its lawyers and intend to appeal the matter through the Fiji Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Interim Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum is pleased with the judgment and has called on the SDL Party to assist the Interim Government to take the country forward as they only have the option to appeal the case.
The Fiji Public Service Association has refused to comment on the ruling.
General Secretary, Rajeshwar Singh said their Union has always stood aside from politics and has no interest in responding to today's ruling.
Ousted Opposition Leader Mick Beddoes said he was shocked to hear the judgment and said the ruling will set a dangerous precedent for Fiji's future governments.
The President of the Fiji Law Society Dor Sami Naidu said they are surprised with the ruling delivered and will have to further study the ruling as it has far reaching consequences for Fiji.
The President of the Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Sabha, Dewan Maharaj has welcomed the court's decision.
National Federation Party General Secretary Pramod Rae said the ruling is not surprising and there is a need for the SDL party and the military to engage in talks.
