The Federal Court handling the celebrated David Jones sexual harassment case wants Kristy Fraser-Kirk to name the names of women she alleged were willing to join and prosecute the lawsuit that is turning out to be biggest sex-related legal case in Australia.

Federal Court Justice Geoffrey Flick ordered on Thursday the lawyers of the former David Jones publicist, who sued the luxury retailer and its resigned chief executive Ian McInnes for a $37 million sexual harassment case, to advise her that the names of 10 from the 13 women must be submitted to the company and Mr McInnes.

The court order came down despite pleas submitted by Ms Fraser-Kirk's lawyers that the names remain confidential in order to protect the privacy of the alleged victims since they have yet to formally join the suit.

Justice Flick said that three names were omitted from the court order since lawyers prosecuting the case have argued that their testimonies must be categorised by the court in a different manner.

The 27-year-old Ms Fraser-Kirk claimed in her suit that Mr McInnes made numerous sexual advances to her during working hours and she included David Jones management in the case for ignoring her report when she made known the incident to a company executive.

Earlier this September, the former David Jones publicist upgraded her case when she declared that some present employees of David Jones and former colleagues of Mr McInnes during his tenure at Black and Decker had expressed willingness to support and join the ongoing lawsuit.

Mr McInnes left David Jones in June amidst talks of improper behaviour which he later admitted though he vehemently denied the allegations contained in the lawsuit filed by Ms Fraser-Kirk.

His lawyers were preparing to start his defence on September 24 as the Federal Court already scheduled a final hearing date for the case on December, which is set on the week prior to Christmas
