Appeal Court cuts Shafee's damages against Malaysian Bar to RM120,000
Makkal Osai
The Court of Appeal in Putrajaya on Monday reduced the damages the Malaysian Bar must pay Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah from RM340,000 to RM120,000. A three-judge panel led by Datuk Dr Choo Kah Sing allowed the Bar's appeal in part and dismissed Shafee's cross-appeal for more. The court kept RM20,000 in aggravated damages but set aside awards for loss of job opportunities and for stress and health effects.
