Dissenting judge: No requirement to confirm royal addendum


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 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 a judicial review here yesterday.
