SENIOR Magistrate Judith Pusey, this afternoon rejected an application to set aside a subpoena filed by defence lawyers in the Cuban light bulb trial for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Paula Llewellyn, to be called as a witness for the defence.
Pusey also ordered Llewellyn to make herself available to give evidence for the defence.
As a result the DPP must remain out of court while Rodney Chin gives evidence. Chin was charged along with former junior energy minister Kern Spencer and his former personal assistant Coleen Wright but the charges against him were dropped after he agreed to give evidence against his co-accused.
However, Llewellyn's attorney Senior Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Caroline Hay, has indicated to the court that she will be appealing to the High Court to have the subpoena set aside.?
The Cuban light bulb case will continue on April 19
