KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today set four days from Oct 21 to hear a suit by Global Royalty Trading SAL against Rosmah Mansor seeking the return of 44 pieces of jewellery sent to her for selection or the full payment of US$14.79 million (almost RM60 million).
Lawyer David Gurupatham, representing the Lebanese jewellery firm, told reporters the court had also fixed Sept 17 for case management for all interlocutory applications filed by Global Royalty as the plaintiff and Rosmah as the defendant.
The case was mentioned in chambers today before judge Wong Chee Lin.
On Feb 14, the High Court ordered Rosmah to check and confirm in seven days the existence of the 44 pieces of jewellery that were in her possession before the seizure by police.
In its suit, Global Royalty claimed that on Feb 10, 2018, it sent 44 pieces of jewellery including diamond necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and tiaras, each worth US$124,000 (RM519,183) to US$925,000 (RM3.8 million) to Rosmah by hand-carry courier via its two agents.
The company said Rosmah had confirmed and accepted the terms and conditions in Memorandum No. 926 relating to the jewellery.
It also claimed that Rosmah, in a letter dated May 22, 2018, confirmed and acknowledged receiving the jewellery but said it was no longer in her possession as it had been confiscated by the Malaysian authorities.
Global Royalty is seeking a court declaration that the firm is the owner of the 44 pieces of jewellery, as well as an order that ownership of the jewellery was not transferred to the defendant.
It is also seeking a mandatory order for Rosmah to provide a list of the items seized, for these to be returned or for Rosmah to pay the full price of the jewellery. - FMT
