Appeals court sets aside former arbitrator's jail sentence
The Court of Appeal today set aside the one-month jail sentence on a chartered arbitrator for making a false declaration to the director of the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) nine years ago.
A three-judge panel led by justice Hanipah Farikullah made that decision after counsel Alex De Silva, representing the appellant, Yusof Holmes Abdullah, 78, informed the court that the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) had allowed the application to set aside the jail sentence.
