KUALA LUMPUR (May 31): The High Court has today fixed July 12 to deliver its decision on whether it will issue a court order to compel the prosecution to supply documents to former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s defence team, as part of his discovery application on Goldman Sachs-related matters and items in his 1Malaysia Development Bhd-Tanore trial.
On the same day, the court will also deliver its decision for another similar application by the defence for discovery on matters related to former Bank Negara Malaysia governor Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz’s husband and son, who were alleged to have received 1MDB funds from fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho.
The date was fixed by Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah following submissions and responses for the application by both the defence and the prosecution respectively earlier today.
In legal context, a discovery application refers to a request for parties in a legal action to disclose each other’s documents, which are deemed to be linked to a subject matter in a case.
