The court then adjourned to Wednesday when told that Marcel Jude, who represented former Director Ag Mohd Tahir Mohd Talib and his wife Fauziah Piut, had checked into a hospital. However, court officials were confused upon learning that he had been to both Jesselton Medical Centre as well as Gleneagles.

He also said the court dismissed a plea bargaining application by Ag Mohd Tahir and Fauziah as the court had established that the application was not made voluntarily.
