Court awards almost RM1.7m in damages to Myanmar refugee in negligence suit

Tuesday, 28 Jan 2020 08:29 PM MYT

A three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Kamardin Hashim, Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said and Datuk Nor Bee Ariffin allowed Henry Siang Len’s appeal on the quantum of damages, raising it to RM1,685,594 from RM734,000 awarded by the High Court previously. Meanwhile, Justice Kamardin dismissed the appeal by the respondent and two doctors against the High Court’s ruling that Dr Caroline Gunn could represent Siang Len and was properly authorised to act as his litigation representative.

According to the facts of the case, Siang Len was to join his wife to resettle in the United States, but on Dec 24, 2010, the night before he was to fly to the USA, he was assaulted by a group of people. Siang Len is currently in a minimally conscious state and is dependent on others for all activities of daily living.
