PETALING JAYA: Malaysia secured a landmark victory against the purported heirs of the long-defunct Sultanate of Sulu at the Paris Court of Appeal.

The court has upheld Malaysia’s challenge against the partial award handed down on May 25, 2020 by arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa in the case brought by eight Philippine claimants.

As part of their “abusive strategy”, she said the claimants had previously targeted Malaysia’s diplomatic assets in France on the basis of this partial award. Malaysia is seeking to have the annulment recorded in a court decision as soon as possible, which should quash the claimants’ global enforcement efforts.

Stampa’s continued actions in defiance of court orders in Spain and France have resulted in a significant abuse of the international arbitration process. The Malaysian government will continue to take all necessary actions, including legal actions, to put an end to the claims and to ensure that Malaysia’s interests, sovereign immunity and sovereignty are protected at all times.
