KUALA LUMPUR, May 18 — The Madrid Court of Appeal has upheld the contempt of court conviction and sentence of arbitrator Gonzalo Stampa in the Sulu claimants case against...
In a statement today, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said revealed that Malaysia was notified on May 17 of the appellate court’s decision to dismiss Gonzalo Stampa ’s appeal and uphold his six-month prison sentence, and a one-year ban from practising as an arbitrator.
In December 2021, after the unprecedented change of arbitration seat from Spain to France, Malaysia — which has complete and unwavering confidence in the Spanish judicial system — filed a complaint against Stampa with Spain’s public prosecutor on the grounds that he had acted in contempt of court by repeatedly disobeying the orders of the Madrid High Court and continued forum shopping in other jurisdictions.
Azalina said Malaysia welcomed the landmark ruling as a momentous victory for the rule of law that would help preserve the sanctity of international arbitration as an alternative form of dispute resolution. She then thanked the Foreign Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General’s Chambers, the Legal Affairs Division, the Sulu War Room Special Secretariat, her cabinet colleagues and Malaysians in general for their continuous support in this fight.
