Grace Road President, Daniel Kim's counsel has applied for a stay on the removal of Kim and other members of Grace Road who are currently in immigration custody.
Kim lawyer, King's Counsel Simon Ower says they are asking to expedite the hearing of the Habeas Corpus matter as Kim has been suffering due to the conditions while in detention at the Lautoka Remand Centre.
A Writ of Habeas Corpus protects against unlawful and indefinite imprisonment.
Solicitor General Ropate Green who is representing the Director of Immigration, Commissioner of Police and the Attorney General says they concur with the King's Counsel however, the requirements of the Court of Appeal’s rules must be met.
Resident Justice of Appeal Isikeli Mataitoga has reassured both the counsels that the requirements will be met in terms of providing court transcripts.
He says the matter will be called after the issue regarding costs is called in the High Court on the 28th of November.
The matter has been adjourned to the 1st of December.
