00:15prime minister failed to cross the threshold set out under Section 84 of the Courts of Judicature

00:20Act 1964. She said no articles cited in the federal constitution argued by the defendant's

00:27lawyers gave rise to any real substantial and justiciable questions of law that required

00:32a determination by the federal court. Therefore, she said the trial of Yusuf Rother's suit will

00:37proceed as planned on June 16th at 9am.

00:42Rosemarie also refused a stay of proceedings by Anwar's lawyer, Alan Wong, saying that her

00:47hands are tied. The prime minister wanted the apex court to rule whether articles 39, 40

00:5343 off the federal constitution grant him qualified immunity from a suit filed by Yusuf four years

00:58ago. The suit relates to events which allegedly took place before Anwar took office on November
