The Suva High Court has ruled that a formal application for discovery must be made before any cross-examination of senior government officials in the case involving the former FICAC Commissioner Barbara Malimali.
Lawyer Tanya Waqanika told the court they want to cross-examine President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu and Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka.
Judge Dane Tuiqereqere instructed the parties to file an application for discovery.
The case has been adjourned to September 8 to set a hearing date.
The former Commissioner is challenging her removal, calling it unlawful.
She was suspended and later dismissed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister last month.
