FED:Malaysia deal verdict due next week

The High Court will decide the fate of the federal government's controversial refugee
swap deal with Malaysia next Wednesday.

In the meantime, the courts injunction against the so-called Malaysia Solution will
remain in force.

A special sitting of the court has been held this week to consider the arguments of
refugee lawyers, who want the plan to send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia struck down.
