The Attorney-General has been given until 24 November 2008 to file submissions as to the type of penalty that should be imposed on The Fiji Times, Netani Rika and Rex Gardner.

The Solicitor-General, Mr Christopher Pryde, who represented the Attorney-General at the hearing this morning along with co-counsel Mr Sharvada Sharma stated outside court that he would be making submissions in support of a term of imprisonment for Rika and Gardner and a hefty fine for The Fiji Times commensurate with the contempt.

The hearing of the penalty issue will be held on 4 December 2008.
