Another three judicial review applications have been filed in the High Court in relation to the Commission of Inquiry into the appointment of Barbara Malimali as FICAC Commissioner.

Former Attorney General Graham Leung, the Fiji Law Society and Malimali have filed the applications.

Malimali's lawyer, Tanya Waqanika confirms they are asking for the Commission of Inquiry report to be quashed and also claiming for damages.

Leung has referred all questions to his legal counsel.

The Fiji Law Society confirms the application has been filed and they are waiting to be advised on when it will be called.

The Judicial Services Commission is also seeking an order to quash the findings and recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry together with other declarations.

JSC’s counsel, Isireli Fa says the judicial review application by the JSC raises serious issues with the conduct of the COI and its findings and recommendations.

Fa says in their opinion, its findings and recommendations are inconsistent with the evidence that was before the COI.
