(Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR : Two former 1MDB directors have urged the High Court to dismiss former chairman Irwan Serigar Abdullah’s application to make them share liability in 1MDB’s US$6.59 billion (RM28.56 billion) civil suit, saying it is legally flawed.
He said liability as joint tortfeasors required a common design or concerted action to commit the alleged wrongdoing.
He said Norazman was merely a senior civil servant while Kamal served as a director of several companies linked to the finance ministry.
I am asking the court to exempt my clients from liability, even if they are found liable,” he said.
Irwan has brought Kamal, Norazman and Azmi into 1MDB’s civil suit as third parties, arguing that they should share liability if the company succeeds in proving it suffered billions of ringgit in losses.
