THE Federal Court has reinstated the fine of RM10,000 imposed 13 years ago by the advocates and solicitors’ disciplinary board on former lawyer A. Sivanesan – now a Perak state executive council member – for professional misconduct.
This followed a decision by a three-member panel comprising Justices Nallini Pathmanathan, Vernon Ong Lam Kiat and Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal to allow appeals by the Malaysian Bar and K. Pathmanathan.
