During today’s trial preparation conference in the Januzi et al. case, the Panel issued a number of oral orders, all of which are based on the anticipated commencement date of the trial, envisaged for 8 November 2024. Among other matters, the Panel addressed the unavailability of Januzi’s lead counsel on 11 and 12 November. The Panel decided that, if necessary, Januzi can be represented by his co-counsel during this period. The Panel also ordered the Defence teams to file their list of witnesses by 4 November 2024. Lastly, the Panel announced that it will issue a number of relevant decisions in due course, including the one on the date for the start of the trial.
This was the last trial preparation conference in this case, so the hearings for the rest of this week are cancelled.
