KEY POINTS:
Controversial talkback host Michael Laws wants his bosses at Radio Live to plead not guilty to contempt of court charges.
The station's owner, media giant Canwest, has pleaded guilty to broadcasting details that could have led to the identification of sex offender Graham Capill's victims. It follows comments made on air by Radio Live drive-time host James Coleman.
Both Laws and Coleman face charges for remarks made about the Capill case.
At the Auckland District Court on Friday, the company admitted one charge of breaching the Criminal Justice Act, in relation to the Coleman comments.
Capill - the former leader of the Christian Heritage Party - is serving a nine-year jail term for rape, sexual violation and indecent assault on girls aged between five and 11. The law provides for the automatic suppression for any victim of a sexual offence.
But Coleman, who was jointly charged with his employer, intends to defend the allegation.
Laws said the police prosecution over his comments was "politically motivated".
