The Court of Appeal has reserved judgement in the legal battle involving five members of the People's National Party (PNP) and Dutch investigators in the Trafigura affair.
Appeal Court President Dennis Morrison says the court will give its ruling on April 28.
The Appeal Court is to decide whether PNP President Portia Simpson Miller; Chairman Robert Pickersgill; Phillip Paulwell; Colin Campbell and Norton Hinds, should answer questions in open court about the $30 million donation by Trafigura to the party in 2006.
They are appealing the 2011 ruling by Supreme Court judge Lennox Campbell that the Trafigura affair is of public interest and the PNP officials should be questioned in open court.
However, lead attorney for the PNP, K.D Knight has declared that the party president and the other four persons will not be answering questions from Dutch investigators neither in public nor private.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who is the designated Central Authority for the Dutch authority, has urged the court to dismiss the appeal.
