"It is my ruling that despite the appellant having contended that she does not submit herself to the jurisdiction of the Malaysian court for purposes of the case and the court below, and for this appeal, the appellant must be given the right to canvass her appeal which is centred on the argument that this court has the jurisdiction to hear her appeal,” he said.
"This court rules that the legal effect of the appellant's contention that she does not submit to the jurisdiction of the Malaysian court, and the effect that position through the substantive appeal will only be decided at the end of the hearing of the substantive appeal and not at the stage of this PO.
