Court reinstates suit by late Dutch model's mother for full trial


PUTRAJAYA: A suit brought by the mother of late Dutch model Ivana Esther Robert Smit against the police, the Home Minister and the Malaysian government for alleged breach of statutory duties and negligence in the investigation to determine the cause of her daughter’s death will go for full trial at the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

This was after a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal, led by Datuk Yaacob Md Sam, in a unanimous decision, allowed Christina Carolina Gerarda Johanna Verstappen's appeal over the High Court’s decision to quash her suit.
