PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court today affirmed the findings of the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board and two lower courts clearing senior lawyer Cecil Abraham of professional misconduct.
Wong, who delivered the judgment, said the apex court also found that there was no blatant error in the application of law. “It brought this case following a decision by members of the general body at an annual general meeting,” he said.Last year, the council failed again in its appeal against the DB’s decision clearing Abraham of any wrongdoing.
A three-member panel chaired by Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said the bench was convinced that the April 4, 2013 letter and its appendices did not comprise a complaint under the LPA and the relevant disciplinary rules. She said at the disciplinary hearing, Abraham effectively altered his stance by denying any involvement in the preparation of SD2.
“We, on our part, having examined the record, find that the circumstantial evidence does not establish the misconduct complained of,” she said.
