The entire bench allocated for the defence team from Messrs Shafee & Co was empty except for lawyer Noor Farhah Mustaffa who informed High Court judge Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah that lead counsel, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, had received a phone call informing him that his sister-in-law had to be tested for the virus.
