The Bar Council, which is the regulating body of the Malaysian Bar, yesterday issued a circular to inform the Malaysian Bar members of the immediate suspension of this rule. "Bar Council Ruling 3.05: Logo, elaborate or decorated script or style permitted - The use of any logo, insignia, seal of the firm and any elaborate or decorated script or style on a law firm’s letterhead and stationery in a manner which is unobtrusive and not incompatible with the dignity of the legal profession is permitted, subject to the approval of the Bar Council."
The Bar Council did not state the reason for the suspension in the circular, but said it would contact law firms that have already submitted their applications to the Bar Council for approval.
