The Court of Appeal ordered the Malayan Commercial Banks’ Association to pay the National Union of Bank Employees RM30,000 in costs.PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by the Malayan Commercial Banks’ Association (MCBA) for an interim order to restrain the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) from carrying out its trade union activities.

A three-member bench chaired by Justice Firuz Jaffril, with Justices Ismail Brahim and Dean Wayne Daly, ruled that the order was unnecessary as the Kuala Lumpur High Court had already granted a stay, and contempt proceedings had been initiated against NUBE and its officials.

"MCBA can deal with the matter during the contempt proceedings," Firuz said.
