KETUA SETIAUSAHA KEMENTERIAN DALAM NEGERI & ANOR – Appellant
Versus
THE EDGE COMMUNICATIONS SDN BHD – Respondent
[Civil Appeal No: W-01(A)-367-11-2015]
The court upheld the High Court's order for damages concerning a Suspension Letter, indicating that the assessment of damages is a judicial exercise, not mere calculation.
Headnote:This judgment concerns an appeal dismissed by the court regarding a Suspension Letter issued under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984. The court analyzed whether the decision was legal, breached natural justice, or was irrational. The core issues involved damages related to unlawful actions by a public body. Findings indicated damages ordered by the High Court were subject to legal assessment. "We, therefore, accordingly dismissed the appeal with costs."
[1] We heard and disposed of this appeal on 30 August 2016 wherein we dismissed the appeal of the appellants. We append below our grounds for so doing. For the purposes of the appeal, we shall refer for the parties as they were described in the court below.
