BANGKOK (AFP): Thailand's progressive Move Forward Party, which won this year's election but was shut out of government, said Monday it was confident about a court case probing campaign pledges to reform royal insult laws.

MFP won most seats in the May poll, but then-leader Pita Limjaroenrat was blocked from becoming prime minister by conservative forces in the upper house of parliament.
