KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The High Court here has dismissed former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s son, Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin’s application for a stay of proceedings of the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) lawsuit against him to seek RM37.6mil in unpaid taxes, pending an appeal on the tax assessment to the IRB.

Lawyer Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, representing Mohd Nazifuddin, told reporters that judge Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim refused to grant his client's application on grounds that there were no special circumstances to warrant a stay of the proceedings.
