The suit filed by 37 unit owners of K-Residence against developer KL Landmark Sdn Bhd and three others including Duta Land Bhd CEO Tan Sri Yap Yong Seong, will proceed through trial for six days beginning Oct 13.

Country Garden Danga Bay said in a statement it will "compensate house owners" for late delivery of vacant possession after the Federal Court decided not to grant the company permission to appeal against the purchasers’ claims.

Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat ruled that the developer did not pass the threshold set under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 for the court to grant leave (permission) to hear merits of the case.

The decision to withdraw the appeal at the Federal Court was made despite the fact that the Court of Appeal's decision to acquit him was not unanimous.

A judicial review application has been filed by the firm of Messrs Karpal Singh & Co at the Alor Setar High Court on Thursday (Nov 18).

Former de-facto deputy law minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohamed Hanipa Maidin described the decision to withdraw the appeal as "weird".

“This issue was never raised in the written submission and was only raised now."

“That is the prosecution's case [and we have no intention of calling Nazir],” Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram said.

Datuk Seri Farizan Darus, 62, said that at the meeting, which was chaired by Lim, he had informed those present about the proposal to have the tunnel project.

The prosecution and Najib's defence team also showed they are in the dark over when the appellate court would deliver its verdict.
