A three-member Federal Court bench, chaired by Justice Nordin Hassan, unanimously rejected Tobacco Importers and Manufacturers Sdn Bhd’s application for leave to appeal, ruling that its proposed questions of law did not meet the threshold under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
Justices Ahmad Terrirudin Salleh and Azimah Omar sat on the panel, which also ordered the company to pay RM50,000 in costs to the former employee.
