Rosmah vows to resist enforcement of RM67.5mil jewellery judgment
PUTRAJAYA: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor will resist any attempt by Global Royalty Trading SAL to enforce a High Court judgment ordering her to pay RM67.5 million over 43 missing pieces of jewellery.
Former First Lady Rosmah Mansor has vowed to fight any attempts by Global Royalty Trading SAL to enforce a RM67.5 million judgment awarded by the High Court. Her lawyers have announced that Rosmah will pursue her appeal against the June 10 decision, which ordered her to pay the sum over missing jewellery. Although the Court of Appeal dismissed her request for an unconditional stay, she filed an appeal on June 12.
The appeal hearing is scheduled for March 25 next year. Rosmah's legal team stated that Global Royalty's claim against her lacks factual and legal basis, and any attempt to enforce the judgment before the appeal is resolved will be vigorously resisted. The Court of Appeal dismissed her application for an unconditional stay, ruling that she failed to provide sufficient grounds.
Global Royalty was subsequently allowed to take steps to enforce the High Court's judgment. The High Court judge had ordered Rosmah to pay RM67,461,027.37 within one month, and she has since deposited the full judgment sum into a joint stakeholders account. The controversy revolves around 43 pieces of jewellery that were entrusted to Rosmah for inspection in February 2018 but were never returned.
Global Royalty claims the jewellery remained its property until Rosmah purchased them, while Rosmah maintains they were to be returned.
