Justice Department Director General Menzi Simelane received a harsh rebuke from Constitutional Court judges this week for not taking seriously a challenge to the dissolution of the Scorpions by businessman Bob Glenister.
Yacoob started his questioning of government's senior counsel Tshepo Sibeko by asking him why Simelane said nothing in his affidavit about the Bills when he knew "the decision was in the pipeline".
Government must account fully in court papers and look beyond technical positions, Yacoob said.
"Government must respond fully, frankly and openly to affidavits. This is a very serious matter."
