Rosmah vows to fight enforcement of RM67.5mil jewellery judgment
Lawyers say the wife of the former prime minister will seek further court orders to protect her position pending appeal against the High Court award.
Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, has vowed to fight any enforcement of a RM67.5 million jewelry judgment against her. The High Court decision dismissing her bid for an unconditional stay was recently overturned by the Court of Appeal. Rosmah's lawyers, Reza Rahim & Rajivan, stated that any attempt to enforce the High Court ruling would be vigorously resisted by their client.
The Court of Appeal dismissed her application for an unconditional stay pending the disposal of her appeal, which is set to be heard on March 25 next year. The decision to pay the RM67.5 million was made by High Court judge Quay Chew Soon on June 10, 2021, over 43 pieces of jewelry allegedly supplied to Rosmah on consignment in 2018.
Global Royalty Trading SAL maintains that the jewelry remains its property and has not been returned. Judicial Commissioner Marianne Antoinette Ghani granted Rosmah a conditional stay in August, requiring the judgment sum to be placed in a joint account held by both parties' solicitors. Rosmah filed her appeal against the High Court ruling on June 12, 2021.
