1MDB seeks leave of Federal Court to reinstate White & Case suit
State investor challenges ruling that High Court has no jurisdiction to hear US$1.86 billion claim against UK law firm.
The 1MDB organization has requested permission from the Federal Court to appeal a recent ruling that the High Court lacks jurisdiction to hear its $1.83 billion lawsuit against UK law firm White & Case LLP. This case, involving PetroSaudi International Ltd, was initiated in the Kuala Lumpur High Court, where 1MDB alleged fraud and conspiracy against White & Case and PetroSaudi director Mahony.
The defendants claimed that Malaysia was not the appropriate forum to hear the dispute, as the country was deemed the "center of gravity" of the case. The Court of Appeal had previously allowed White & Case's appeal and set aside the writ served on the firm. The Federal Court will hear 1MDB’s application for leave to appeal the decision on October 12th, with the written submissions and bundle of authorities due by September 28th.
