Gombak voters turn to Federal Court to restore suit against Azmin

[superadmin]

PUTRAJAYA: Ten voters who filed a lawsuit against Gombak MP Azmin Ali for alleged breach of fiduciary duty have gone to the Federal Court to set aside a Court of Appeal decision to strike out their legal challenge.

Lawyer N Yohendra said the 10 filed nine questions of law two days ago to obtain leave from the apex court to hear the merit of their appeal.

Applicants must satisfy the court by framing novel legal and constitutional questions that are of public importance and raised for the first time as required under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act.

Among the questions sighted by FMT was whether an action for deceit or breach of fiduciary duties can be maintained by voters against an MP or assemblyman elected by voters.
