The CPD Roundtable is about you deciding on the “what”, “when” and “how” you want to learn.
Choo Dee Wei successfully conducted the first CPD Roundtable on the evening of 14 Apr 2016, at Secret Recipe, Bangsar LRT Station. The focus was on two recent Federal Court decisions:
Seruan Gemilang Makmur Sdn Bhd v Kerajaan Negeri Pahang Darul Makmur & Anor [2016] 3 CLJ 1 (FC) which gave all parties present the opportunity to discuss striking out principles, the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic fraud, and also the res judicata principle. All present concluded that the judgment was sound.
Suruhanjaya Sekuriti v Datuk Ishak Ismail [2016] 3 CLJ 19 (FC) was a robust analysis of the impact of section 112 of the Evidence Act 1950 statements, and the discussion raised other related cases and the admissibility of statements made by the accused. There were a variety of views presented on whether the use of sections 123 and 124 of the Evidence Act 1950 were too liberally interpreted, and the role of privilege. A key consideration was also whether a particular provision may be contrary to public policy and the role that the courts should play in making such decisions.
A total of 10 Members of the Bar were present at this inaugural event.
Congratulations to Choo Dee Wei and all participants!
