The Bar Council today filed an application to set aside Umno-linked lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah's ex-parte injunction barring it from discussing the senior lawyer's conduct during the controversial Anwar Ibrahim Sodomy II roadshow series.

The application and supporting affidavits were filed by the firm of Lee Hishammuddin Allen and Gledhill, the firm representing the council. Senior lawyer Lambert Rasa-Ratnam is appearing for the council.
