President, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, Barbara Malimali and Prime Minister, Sitiveni
The Suva High Court will deliver it's ruling tomorrow after the judicial review on whether the President, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu and Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka acted under the Constitution to dismiss FICAC Commissioner, Barbara Malimali.

The judicial review was earlier allowed by High Court Judge, Justice Dane Tuiqereqere.

Malimali challenged the legality of her dismissal in June last year after the Commission of Inquiry report.

Her lawyer, Tanya Waqanika has said the President had made the decision on the advice of the Prime Minister although the law says that it should be based on the advice of the Judicial Services Commission.
