The court set the date on Friday after Asst Prof Worapol Promigabutr, a lecturer in the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology at Thammasat University, testified as the final defence witness.

The defamation suit stems from remarks Mr Jatuporn made during red shirt gatherings between Jan 29 and Feb 15, 2010, claiming that Mr Abhisit had dodged military conscription.

Mr Abhisit and the Democrat Party maintain that he had received an exemption from service.
