KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown has been ordered to pay £28,900 (RM155,790) to Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang by a United Kingdom court, according to the Pas president’s lawyer.
In a Facebook posting, Wan Rohimi Wan Daud said the London High Court had handed down the decision in a defamation suit filed by Hadi in the UK.
“TGHH (Tok Guru Haji Hadi) has won all five interlocutory applications! Sarawak Report has been ordered to pay costs of £28,900,” he posted.
Hadi’s political secretary Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, when contacted, told the New Straits Times Press that they had “received positive news” from London.
“(Yes) we received positive news. More details will be given in a press statement tomorrow (Tuesday),” he said.
Hadi filed the defamation suit against Rewcastle-Brown at the London High Court on April 21 last year following a Sarawak Report article which appeared on Aug 6 2016 which alleged that he had received RM90 million to get Pas to support Umno and Barisan Nasional.
PETALING JAYA: The London High Court has ordered Sarawak Report to pay £28,900 (RM156,017) in costs in its case against PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (pic).
Abdul Hadi's lawyer Wan Rohimi Wan Daud in a Facebook post said that Abdul Hadi had won all five of its interlocutory applications in its libel suit against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown.
"Sarawak Report has been ordered to pay cost of £28,900 (RM156,017)," he said.
He added that a press conference will be conducted in due time.
PAS had sued Rewcastle-Brown for libel over an article she wrote alleging that the party had received RM90mil in bribes from Umno.
However, Sarawak Report in a post on Monday (April 30) refuted PAS' announcement that five of its applications were defeated and said that its claims that Abdul Hadi had won the libel case was "false".
Sarawak Report also said that the half day hearing in front of Justice Dingemans was only related to its procedural application.
"Political parties cannot sue in the UK and Sarawak Report had petitioned for a quick preliminary trial to determine whether it was Abdul Hadi or PAS who was behind the case to silence Sarawak Report on the issue of money flowing from Umno into the political party," it claimed.
Sarawak Report said the judge had set a provisional date for a full trial for ten days lasting from April 1 to 12, 2019.
