NPA Welcomes Judgment In Asbestos Case

Today the Free State High Court dismissed all of the accused’s interlocutory applications in the asbestos matter with costs.   

The NPA welcomes the judgment and will now focus on ensuring that the pretrial conference is concluded on the next court date so that a trial date can be arranged. We have always maintained that all the matters raised by the accused should be ventilated by the trial court when the trial proceedings commence. The NPA has full confidence in the strength of its case and will let the evidence speak for itself during the trial.
