India's GMR is seeking assistance from a former Sri Lankan attorney general and two Maldivian attorneys in the preliminary arbitration hearings over the "wrongful termination" of the contract to develop the Maldives main international airport, Haveeru has learnt.
Haveeru understands that that GMR had hired former Sri Lankan attorney general Mohamed Shibly Aziz, and former Maldivian deputy solicitor general Ibrahim Riffath and Maldivian lawyer Fayaz Ismail to assist them in matters related to the Maldivian legal system.
Riffath was involved in formulating the Maldivian government's arguments against GMR's case. He was also working at the attorney general's office when the contract with the Indian infrastructure giant was terminated.
In the preliminary proceedings that started last Thursday in an arbitration court in Singapore, Maldives Supreme Court Judge Abdulla Saeed is the leading legal advisor from the Maldives.
Attorney general Mohamed Anil, his deputy hmed Usham and a team of legal experts from Singapore and the UK are also a part of the team representing the Maldives in the GMR case.
