A judge has turned down an application filed by Minister Konrad Mizzi in which he claimed there was a breach of his rights to a fair hearing.

Mr Justice Robert Mangion, in a ruling today, said Mizzi did not produce any evidence in this regard.

On 20 December, Mr Justice Mangion had said that he will decree on the case from chambers after Mizzi filed a constitutional case in which he claimed a breach of his fundamental human rights by the request for a magisterial inquiry made by former leader of the Opposition, Simon Busuttil following the Panama Papers scandal.
