LONDON: Altaf Hussain, the founder of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), will go before the UK Court of Appeal to contest the ruling made by Judge Clive Jones of the Insolvency and Companies Court (ICC) a year ago, which denied him ownership of six properties in London valued at approximately £10 million.
The Court of Appeal will hear a two-day appeal on limited grounds on Tuesday morning. Hussain is the claimant, and Syed Aminul Haque, the leader of MQM-Pakistan (MQM-P), is the respondent.
of a ruling rendered on March 13, 2023, ICC Judge Jones—a High Court judge of the Business and Property Courts—ruled that the MQM-P was the owner of almost six London properties.The appeal filed by Altaf Hussain concerns the interpretation of the Constitutional documents of the unincorporated association (MQM), specifically whether the MQM, which own properties in the UK, was an independent entity or part of the party. The ownership of six North London houses and the money from the sale of a seventh are in question in this dispute.
