KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has awarded another half a million in exemplary damages to The Edge Communications Sdn Bhd in addition to a RM11.2mil compensatory damages for loss of revenue due to the three-month suspension of its two publications by the Home Ministry in 2015.

Justice Nordin Hassan made the order here Wednesday after allowing the publishing firm’s appeal for exemplary damages and awarded it RM500, 000.

The court, however, did not allow the publication’s appeal for aggravated and constitutional damages on the grounds that it was inappropriate to be awarded. There were also evidence from the company's financial controller and documentary evidence to prove that the computation for the total sum of RM11.2mil was correct and the assumptions made were reasonable, he said.

He said that the respondents did not produce any evidence to challenge the method of calculation for the amount claimed.
