Apex court reinstates RM10,000 fine on Sungkai assemblyman
The Federal Court has reinstated the fine of RM10,000 imposed 13 years ago by the advocates and solicitors’ disciplinary board on former lawyer A. Sivanesan for professional misconduct. – Bernama, February 13, 2023.
This followed a decision by a three-member panel comprising Justices Nallini Pathmanathan, Vernon Ong Lam Kiat and Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal to allow appeals by the Malaysian Bar and K. Pathmanathan. In today’s conclusion, Justice Nallini said the Court of Appeal should be slow to intervene with regard to the findings made by the disciplinary committee of the advocates and solicitors’ disciplinary board.
Justice Nallini said the Court of Appeal failed to appreciate that Sivanesan was acting for Pathmanathan and even gave the undertaking to file forms necessary for his appointment, despite not having instructions to do so. Justice Nallini said Sivanesan, who is the Sungkai assemblyman, ought to have communicated to Pathmanathan regarding the new hearing date that was fixed by the industrial court, but failed to do so.
