Gombak Voters Alleged Deceit and Breach of Fiduciary Duty Against Azmin Ali

Ten constituents from Gombak have been unsuccessful in their attempt to reinstate a lawsuit against Gombak MP Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali. The Federal Court unanimously dismissed their application for leave to appeal, upholding previous decisions that struck out the case. The constituents had accused Azmin of deceit and breaching his fiduciary duties towards them.
Allegations of Deceit and Misrepresentation

The core of the voters' legal action revolved around allegations that Azmin Ali deceived them during election campaigns within the Gombak constituency. They claimed that Azmin breached the representations he made to them as their elected Member of Parliament. These claims were central to their original statement of claim filed in November 2020.
Claim of Breach of Fiduciary Obligations

Furthermore, the Gombak constituents asserted that Mohamed Azmin Ali had violated his fiduciary obligations as their representative. This alleged breach was directly linked to the political events known as the “Sheraton Move,” which led to the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government in February 2020. The voters sought a court declaration confirming this breach of duty.
Legal Proceedings and Dismissal of Leave Application

The voters sought to appeal a Court of Appeal decision from April 13, which had allowed Azmin's appeal to strike out their lawsuit. Their application for leave to appeal to the Federal Court was filed in May. However, a three-person Federal Court bench, chaired by Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Azahar Mohamed, dismissed the application, stating there were no new or novel issues of law requiring further ventilation.
