KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has directed for an application by Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown, to transfer her criminal defamation case from the Magistrate's Court to the High Court, to be heard and disposed of first before referring her legal questions relating to the case to the Federal Court.
Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said Rewcastle-Brown's application to refer her two legal questions on the constitutionality of her criminal charges to the Federal Court was "premature" in his ruling here on Friday (Aug 12).
