A gavel used by judges in the court of law.Advocate Billy Downer and legal journalist Karyn MaughanThis is to allow the court to deal with Maughan and Downer’s application to have the private prosecution set aside. This application will be heard in March.
Zuma has instituted a private proseuction against them for allegedly unlawfully disclosing private documents. According to Zuma, Downer leaked his medical records to Maughan in his arms deal corruption case. In her application to have the private prosecution set aside, Maughan argues in court papers that Zuma did not obtain a nolle prosequi certificate against her. She says it was only obtained against Downer.
“There is no mention of Miss Maughan but when you come to court then she’s added she might say but you know this is like she’s been saying it is an infringement of her rights to freedom of expression and she’s being harassed but we have to look at the fact that generally how it must be done when there is private prosecution. I think that is interesting thing, we will hear from the private prosecution team why did they add her at a later stage.
“It makes sense because I think both of them brought applications not only accuse 1 and accuse 2, they have to have time to deal with the application which they are raising to set aside the private prosecution. Then if they are not set aside on the 4th of August the process for private prosecution will obviously begin. We will have to wait until then to hear what the decision will be made before August.
