The dispute between Ali Budiardjo, Nugroho, Reksodiputro (ABNR) and its ex-client Sumatra Partners LLC (Sumatra) recently entered the counter plea stage.
In his counter plea, Sumatra’s attorney Frederik J Pinakunary mentions that ABNR has tried to wash its hands of responsibility for the damages to Sumatra.
“The respondents and/or Co-respondents are trying to wash their hands of the existence of a false guarantee bank,” said Fredrik at the South Jakarta District Court on Tuesday.
In its reply, ABNR stated that if the bank guarantee is false, then PT Bangun Karya Pratama Lestari (BKPL) should be blamed and not ABNR.
However, Fredrik stated that in any event, ABNR had a legal obligation to take all necessary measures to ensure that the legal interests of its client were protected, including an obligation to ensure whether the bank guarantee was authentic or not.
“ABNR is trying to shift its fault and any legal consequences to other parties, namely White & Case and BKPL,” said Fredrik.
ABNR stated that with regard to the fiduciary registration for the agreement between Sumatra and BKPL, ABNR asked White & Case to review the legal opinion. White & Case then accepted to do so.
Therefore, ABNR emphasizes that any problems with the fiduciary registration, the one that is in question, should have been White & Case.
Fredrik asserts that ABNR lawyers should have not done that, because they had legal relations with and responsibility to Sumatras. Therefore, the fault of others should not in any way waive the responsibility of the advocates and partners of ABNR.
ABNR is scheduled to respond to the counter plea at the next trial.
