The long-running High Court review application brought by former justice minister Sakeus Shanghala and 14 co-applicants against the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and several other respondents has moved a step closer to being heard after the parties informed the court that the matter is ready for hearing.

During a status hearing before Deputy Judge President Shafimana Ueitele on Thursday, the parties filed a joint status report confirming that the review application is ripe for hearing and requested that it be allocated the earliest available hearing dates.
