Federal Court to determine whether political parties can sue individuals for defamation
Thursday, 12 Mar 2020 04:47 PM MYT
This follows a decision by a three-man bench led by Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Azahar Mohamed today to allow Kepong Member of Parliament Lim Lip Eng’s application to obtain leave to pursue his appeal in the Federal Court pertaining to a defamation suit filed against him by MCA. The other two judges were Federal Court judges Datuk Seri Mohd Zawawi Salleh and Datuk Abdul Rahman Sebli.
On February 27, 2018, the High Court rejected Lim’s application to strike out the suit and he lost his appeal at the Court of Appeal, which was dismissed on grounds that there were issues to be tried before the High Court.
