Wrongful dismissal: High Court allows judicial review by US govt


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court on Monday (April 1) allowed a judicial review application filed by the United States (US) government to annul an RM66,000 award given by the Industrial Court to a former security guard at the US Embassy here for wrongful dismissal.

Judge Datuk Amarjeet Singh, in allowing the application, said the court found the applicant (the US government) and its embassy have immunity and are protected from the jurisdiction of the Industrial Court over the claim by former security guard L. Subramaniam under Section 20(3) of the Industrial Relations Act 1967.
