A man yesterday filed two applications in court against former Pieta mayor Malcolm Mifsud and the editor of MLP weekly newspaper Kullhadd Felix Agius over the contents of a letter to the editor published in the weekly newspaper last Sunday.

Dr Anthony Cassar filed the two separate applications against Dr Mifsud and Mr Agius over a right of reply in the form of a letter to the editor which, he claimed, contained libelous allegations about him.

Dr Peter Fenech signed the applications.
