Court of Appeal throws out Najib’s bid to revive RM1.9mil suit against Tommy Thomas


PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is seeking to reinstate his RM1.9mil lawsuit against former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas over alleged public misfeasance.

A three-judge panel, chaired by Justice Ravinthran N. Paramaguru, said the appellate court agreed with the High Court's finding that Najib's civil suit was premature as the criminal cases had not started when the suit was filed.
