No legal duty on authorities to confirm existence of addendum order on Najib, says dissenting judge


PUTRAJAYA: There is no legal duty on the respondents named by Datuk Seri Najib Razak in his legal bid to confirm the existence of a royal addendum order that would allow him to go on a house arrest, says a Court of Appeal judge.

Justice Azizah Nawawi, who chaired a three-judge panel of the appellate court, said this in her dissenting judgment in Najib's appeal against the High Court's dismissal of his leave application to initiate judicial review here on Monday (Dec 6).
