THE Government will present its case tomorrow on why it is taking the publisher and two editors of the Wall Street Journal Asia (WSJA) newspaper to court for contempt.

Principal Senior State Counsel David Chong, who heads the Civil Division of the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC), is scheduled to argue the Government's case.

Opposing him will be Senior Counsel Philip Jeyaretnam of Rodyk & Davidson, who is representing Dow Jones Publishing (Asia) - which owns and publishes WSJA - and WSJA editors Daniel Hertzberg and Christine Glancey.
