A preliminary investigation conducted into other complaints filed against Mr Skrenya found prima facie evidence that, on 12 May 2009, he irregularly refused to adhere to a request by the Prosecutor to withdraw a criminal charge against an accused before a plea was tendered, meru moto postponed the case to 30 June 2009 and ordered that the accused be kept in custody. This decision was later set aside by the High Court on special review. His conduct resulted in the Minster of Justice and Constitutional Development being sued for damages.
