According to the court, the motion was also premature at this stage of the trial and also lacked merit.

Today's ruling is the second set back to Dr. Zanetor Rawlings to quickly bring the matter to an end as a similar motion was also dismissed for the same reasons a couple of weeks ago.

Lawyers for Zanetor Rawlings filed the motion last week arguing the high court lacked jurisdiction over the matter due to the constitutional interpretation being sought and describing the entire action brought before the court was premature.

The case has been adjourned to April 4, 2016.
