Work highlights
Represented AirAsia, a leading low-cost carrier, in a landmark appeal against the Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC). This case set a precedent for interpreting the deeming provision under Section 4(2) of the Competition Act 2010. The Court of Appeal's ruling had significant implications for MyCC's authority and function, establishing it as a quasi-judicial body. The court held that once MyCC issues its findings, it becomes functus officio and loses the power to challenge decisions made by its appellate body, the Competition Appeal Tribunal. This decision clarified the limits of MyCC's role and reshaped the landscape of competition law enforcement in Malaysia.
