PUTRAJAYA, Feb 20 — The Federal Court committed a fundamental error when it enforced ‘forced representation’ of an ineffective counsel to remain on board as Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s representative, his lawyer argued today.
Muhammad Shafee said despite the defence’s insistence in August back then, the Federal Court’s five-judge panel led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat unanimously dismissed the defence’s bid for a postponement to be granted. “That is not sanctioned, this calls for review, a fundamental error that goes against the very rubric of fair trial.
Calling the Federal Court’s refusal to grant an adjournment to the hearing of the main appeals a serious miscarriage of justice, Muhammad Shafee later described the so-called ‘injustice’ as flagrantly taking place in front of one’s eyes.
Says someone as a senior lawyer whom together with his client abused the court processes as often as they had done throughout the case!Truly shocking!While the appeal is of right, surely the rationale&grounds submitted lacked merits!Hopefully,FC panel will decide accordingly!🤔🤯
‘forced representation’ which was a result of najib’s own counsel’s ploy of abandoning him at the very last minute. there is no fundamental error perpetrated by the court. the only error was y’all thinking you could fool the court w/ your delay tactics. sit down je la you
