Law firm cannot claim fees from funds forfeited under Amla, affirms apex court FMTNews FMTEng

The Federal Court ruled that it would only review its own decision if a significant injustice has occurred for which there is no alternative effective remedy.

The bench also rejected a contention advanced on behalf of the firm, Wan Shahrizal, Hari & Co, that a breach of natural justice had occurred in the course of the appeal hearing.

He said the majority of the judges who heard the appeal did not recognise the common position of the prosecution and defence that actual legal services had been rendered in the circumstances of the case. Zabidin said the Federal Court had the discretion to review its own decision to prevent injustice or abuse of process, but would use it in very limited and rare circumstances if a significant injustice had occurred for which there was no alternative effective remedy.
