Manus asylum seekers case 2016

Asylum seekers case set for trial

This is in response to another application that was filed by the detainees’ lawyer, Ben Lomai.

Lomai filed another application on Sept 30, after the hearing date of two applications filed earlier was set for Oct 27.

Parties in the case appeared before the Supreme Court on Monday afternoon where directions were issued.

The Deputy Court Registrar will confirm the application books before the hearing on the morning of Oct 27.

A three-judge Supreme Court bench will hear the three applications.
