But Commodore Bainimarama's lawyer, Gerard McCoy, said this was an extraordinary case which would affect the destiny of the nation and added that the good faith of the president is being questioned.
Mr McCoy said Mr Qarase's lawyer had come with no evidence for the with extreme allegations being made.
He said this was the least disciplined and most unstructured case when what's involved is taken into account.
