KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ordered the Malaysian Bar to pay RM340,000 in damages to lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah for breaching its statutory duty.
Justice Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh ruled that the Bar, as the defendant, acted unlawfully by allowing and publishing a motion condemning the lawyer before referring him to the Disciplinary Board 10 years ago, Sinar Harian reported.
