Court rejects Rosmah bid to stay RM67.5mil jewellery judgment
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal today unanimously dismissed Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s application for an unconditional stay pending her appeal against a RM67.5 million judgment involving 43 missing pieces of jewellery.
The Court of Appeal unanimously rejected Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's request for a complete stay while she appeals a RM67.5 million jewelry judgment. The ruling allows Lebanon-based Global Royalty Trading SAL to collect the judgment against Rosmah. A three-member panel, chaired by Datuk Seri Mohd Firuz Jaffril, found no compelling reason to grant an unconditional stay.
The High Court had already examined the matter, and there was no conflict with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) proceedings' interim undertaking. Neither Global Royalty's lawyer, Datuk David Gurupatham, nor Rosmah's lawyer, Mohamed Reza Abdul Rahim, contradicted this. Gurupatham emphasized that Rosmah failed to comply with the High Court's order to pay within 30 days and the RM75,000 costs to Global Royalty, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Malaysian government.
He also accused Rosmah of not disclosing other assets. Global Royalty asserts they can still enforce the judgment or seek additional assets belonging to Rosmah.
