COURT THROWS OUT CASE BY PRINCE JEFRI OF BRUNEI
AGAINST FORMER ADVISORS
NEW YORK, NY – May 22, 2007 – In a resounding victory for Faith Zaman and Thomas W. Derbyshire, former principal advisors to Prince Jefri of Brunei, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has completely dismissed the case filed against them for RICO violations, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty.
On May 17, 2007, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that allegations made by Prince Jefri and various entities he owns and controls failed to state legally valid claims and a basis for federal jurisdiction. The Court denied Prince Jefri’s motion for leave to amend his complaint a second time as “futile” and entered judgment dismissing the case in its entirety.
Baker Hostetler partners Mark A. Cymrot, who specializes in international and commercial litigation and arbitration, and Peder A. Garske, who concentrates his practice in financial, commercial and international litigation, were lead counsel to Zaman and Derbyshire.
Judge Kaplan held that, even accepting many of the Plaintiffs” “dubious” allegations as true, the case against English barristers Ms. Zaman, Mr. Derbyshire and the other Defendants was insufficient on its face to satisfy the requirements of a RICO cause of action. The decision is another legal defeat for Prince Jefri, who is subject to a number of court orders and enforcement actions for admittedly removing $24 billion from the Brunei Investment Agency, approximately $13 billion of which remains outstanding.
