Ms Parti Liyani is seeking leave from the Chief Justice for a disciplinary tribunal to look into the conduct of her prosecutors.

The 46-year-old is the former domestic helper of businessman Liew Mun Leong.

Initially convicted of stealing from her ex-employer in the District Court, the Indonesian was acquitted earlier this month of all five charges following an appeal to the High Court.

Yesterday, her lawyer Mr Anil Balchandani attended a pre-trial conference at the High Court in relation to her application.

The hearing was for an originating summons under the Legal Profession Act.

Mr Tan Wee Hao and Ms Tan Yingying, the Deputy Public Prosecutors who had handled her trial, have been identified as the respondents in the case.

They are being represented by Ms Kristy Tan Ruyan, Mr Jeyendran Jeyapal and Ms Jocelyn Teo Meng Hui from the civil division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
