Court sets aside jail sentence on former arbitrator


PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here set aside the one-month jail sentence on a chartered arbitrator for making a false declaration to the director of the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) nine years ago.

A three-judge panel, led by Justice Datuk Hanipah Farikullah, made that decision on Monday (March 14) after counsel Alex De Silva, representing the appellant, Yusof Holmes Abdullah, 78, informed the court that the Attorney-General’s (AG) Chambers had allowed the application to set aside the jail sentence.
