Terengganu Sultanah Nur Zahirah will not be taking the stand to testify in her suit against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown and two others over defamatory statements made against the former in Page 3 of 'The Sarawak Report (SR) - The Inside Story of 1MDB Expose'. High Court judge Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim made the decision after allowing the Sultanah’s application under Order 14A of the Rules of Court 2012 to dispose part of the trial through points of law.
In his judgment, Zaidi said the plaintiff (the sultanah) had succeeded in proving that the alleged defamatory passage on Page 3 was referring to her.
Meanwhile, outside the court, Sultanah Nur Zahirah’s counsel Datuk Mohd Haaziq Pillay Abdullah said with the decision, his client does not have to come to court to testify.
