Perak Speaker sues state legal adviser

KUALA LUMPUR (March 6, 2009) : by Tan Yi Liang - SUN

Perak Assembly Speaker V.Sivakumar today filed a suit against state legal adviser Datuk Ahmad Kamal Shahid, calling for the High Court to nullify the injunctions issued by the Ipoh High Court on March 3 prohibiting Sivakumar from convening more unlawful State Assembly sittings.

In his suit filed at 3.40pm today, Sivakumar asked the court for a declaration that Ahmad Kamal had acted without authority when he purported to represent him (Sivakumar) during the hearing of the injunction application in chambers on March 3, and again on March 5.

Sivakumar also asked for a declaration that Ahmad Kamal acted "negligently, in breach of contract and in breach of fiduciary duty" resulting in an injunction being granted against him in the first proceedings, and that the injunction order made on March 3 is a "sham and null and void", and asked for it to be set aside.

The suit, which was filed by N. Ganesan on behalf of Tommy Thomas, went on to accuse Ahmad Kamal of "colluding" with the counsel representing Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
