Setev Shaariibuu, the father of the deceased Mongolian translator Altantuya, has filed an application for leave with the Federal Court to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision in his civil suit.

Setev’s (above) lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said the application would invite the country’s highest court to consider several legal questions in the suit, including the scope of the government’s vicarious liability in Altantuya’s death.
