No immunity for regional arbitration directors before Sundra: Ex-AG

The alleged legal immunity for Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) directors only came about a year after Sundra Rajoo took its reins in 2010, claimed former attorney-general Tommy Thomas.

In an affidavit in support of his application to strike out Sundra’s wrongful prosecution suit, the ex-attorney-general pointed out that AIAC directors before the former (Sundra) did not enjoy any such purported legal immunity.

Previously in an earlier affidavit backing the striking out bid, Thomas disputed Sundra’s contention of having legal immunity from criminal proceedings in relation to three criminal breach of trust (CBT) charges involving RM1.01 million of AIAC’s funds.
