Former Northern Territory speaker Kezia Purick is seeking to have corruption findings against her thrown out and block the anti-corruption watchdog from referring allegations against her to prosecutors.
Documents filed in the NT Supreme Court show Ms Purick is arguing the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption, Ken Fleming QC, failed to afford her natural justice and procedural fairness in making his findings against her earlier this year.
Ken Fleming also said she engaged in conduct that may constitute an offence by misleading the ICAC under oath during his investigation.
In his report, the Commissioner said a brief on the potential offence would be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions, but the ABC confirmed in September that was still yet to be done.
Ms Purick resigned as speaker when the ICAC's investigation was published but told Parliament she did not accept the findings.
Ms Purick's court action, which was filed in August, asks for the Commissioner's investigation report to be quashed.
It also seeks to restrain Mr Fleming from referring his brief to the DPP and providing evidence allegedly "unlawfully" obtained by the ICAC and subject to parliamentary privilege.
The action also seeks to bar Mr Fleming "from personally conducting, or continuing to conduct, an investigation ... into alleged improper conduct by [Ms Purick]".
Mr Fleming has previously denied Ms Purick was not afforded natural justice and procedural fairness.
The Country Liberals member-turned-independent remained in Parliament after stepping down as speaker and was re-elected to the rural Darwin seat of Goyder in August.
