This followed a decision by the Court of Appeal in allowing the appeal by Najib, 1MDB and the Government against a High Court's decision in dismissing their application to strike out the lawsuit. "The respondents are not parties in the consent award at the London Court of International Arbitration between 1MDB and IPIC," he said. On July 11 last year, GANT1, headed by Parti Amanah Negara Youth deputy chief Muhammad Faiz Fadzil and nine other individuals, filed the lawsuit against Najib, 1MDB and the Malaysian Government. The GANT1 members are seeking, among others, a declaration that the settlement agreement and consent award signed in London were null and void. The GANT1 members were represented by lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla.
