Her lawyer Husain Mohd Razak told the press that his client could not attend the proceedings before High Court deputy registrar Farah Shuhada Ramli because of personal matters."God willing, my client will attend it. We can settle this issue as soon as possible. Unfortunately, today she has an emergency that she could not avoid," Husain said on Wednesday .
Lawyer Mark Ho, who is representing French production company Sarl Novovision, said Rina had proposed settlement terms with his client but could not disclose the terms."However, today the minister has handed cheques as an instalment payment and on that basis, the court granted a new date for the judgement debtor summons," he said.
A judgement debtor summons is a summons issued by the court to be served on the judgment debtor to compel the person to appear in court to provide information about their assets and how they can be disposed of to settle the judgement debt.
In April last year, a consent judgement was entered between both parties after Rina, who is also Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's women's wing chief, failed to settle the disputed amount.
