The constitutional case filed by Opposition leader Adrian Delia in which he is demanding a full copy of the Egrant inquiry is drawing to a close with both parties announcing they have no further evidence.

Delia had filed the case after the conclusions from Magistrate Aaron Bugeja's inquiry on the ownership of the secret Panamanian company Egrant were published in July last year.

The Prime Minister, who was handed a full copy of the inquiry, has said that he wants the entire report to be published but the Attorney General has opposed any such a move.

On Monday morning, lawyers Vincent Galea and Andre Portelli for Delia informed Mr Justice Robert Mangion that they had no further evidence to produce.

Lawyer Victoria Buttigieg for the Office of the Attorney General said the same.

The case was put off for final submissions for 11 March. In the interim period both parties have two weeks to present a note of submissions and replies.
