Question

## The Bar Council Was Ordered to Pay RM50,000 in Costs Following the Federal Court's Dismissal of its Appeal

Accepted Answer

The Federal Court ordered the Bar Council to pay RM50,000 in legal costs to senior lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah after unanimously dismissing the Bar Council's appeal. This decision upheld a prior Court of Appeal ruling that had set aside a RM5,000 fine previously imposed on Muhammad Shafee by the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board. The original fine stemmed from the publication of two articles in The Star newspaper in 2009.
