KUALA LUMPUR, — The lawsuit by the mother of the late Dutch model, Ivana Esther Robert Smit, against the police, the Home Ministry and the government will proceed to trial on October14 after the parties involved failed to reach a settlement at the High Court here yesterday.
Judicial Commissioner Roz Mawar Rozain said the case will be heard at 10am online via Zoom as the plaintiff will testify from the Netherlands.
Earlier, federal counsel Anis Najwa Nazari, representing the defendants, told the court that the plaintiff’s lawyer had submitted a proposed settlement last August 28, but the defendants did not agree to the terms.
“The instruction received is to continue the case with a trial,” said Anis Najwa, who was also assisted by federal counsel Nuur (repeat: Nuur) Zul Izzati Zulkipli.
