EX-AG TO HAVE HIS DAY IN COURT NEXT APRIL
Trial of former A-G’s suit on ‘unlawful sacking’ and breach of contract fixed for April 2022

Lawyer Abdul Shukor Ahmad said the trial was inevitable as the government was not amenable to a mediation to settle the matter out of court. “Dates have been fixed today for the trial to proceed,” he told FMT after virtual case management before deputy registrar Nor Shahadah Saari. The court also instructed all parties to file their bundle of documents and identify the list of witnesses before the next case management on Nov 5.
