Maladina application

Court refuses Maladina application

Maladina filed a claim against the state last year over the K2.65 million restitution he paid to the state on July 24, 2015, prior to the National Court handing down its sentence in the criminal proceeding against him on 13 August 2015.

The claim stems from the criminal case which he stood trial over from 4 May 2015.

Justice Hitelai Polume Kiele refused the application for default judgment against the state as there was no clear pleadings of ownership of the K2.65 million cheque.
