Tajudin fails in appeal to strike out two Celcom suits – Bernama
Businessman Tan Sri Tajudin Ramli and his brother today failed in their appeals at the Court of Appeal to strike out two civil suits filed against them by Celcom (Malaysia) Berhad.
The court also dismissed appeals brought by five former directors of Celcom – Joerg Andreas Boy, Dieter Sieber, Oliver Tim Axmann, Dr Frank-Reinhard and Axel Hass – to set aside the statement of claim and the service of the notice of writ served on them by Celcom.
A three-member panel chaired by Federal Court judge Datuk Seri Abu Samah Nordin held that the civil suits should go back to the High Court for full trial as there were issues that needed to be determined by the court.
However, the panel, which also comprises Court of Appeal judges Datuk Azahar Mohamed and Datuk Aziah Ali, granted them an order to stay the Court of Appeal's decision, pending disposal of their application for leave to appeal to the Federal Court.
Abu Samah also directed the appellants to file their application for leave to appeal to the Federal Court within 30 days from today. – Bernama, March 11, 2014.
