: Senior lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla was fined RM30,000 in default one month’s jail by the Federal Court for contempt of court for being disrespectful of the Federal Court in a property dispute case.
The panel, which included Justices Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof and Datuk Seri Hasnah Mohammed Hashim, also ordered the three individuals to pay RM50,000 costs and Mohamed Haniff Khatri to pay RM10,000 costs.Justice Abdul Rahman said the court imposed the RM50,000 fine on Ding Toh Biew, Ding Toh Gien and Ding Toh Lei as they did not express their regret or show remorse to the court after they were found guilty for contempt.
Justice Abdul Rahman, however, said the court also took into account that Mohamed Haniff Khatri only decided to apologise to the court after being found guilty. “We are, therefore, of the view that such behaviour of the respondents and Mohamed Haniff Khatri was contumacious and disrespectful. The Federal Court on June 20, 2017 allowed Peek Hoe and Boon Huat’s appeal and reinstated the High Court’s decision and ordered Golden Star and the three partners to return the properties within 60 days.
