PUTRAJAYA (April 27): The Court of Appeal today set aside the RM10 million fines each imposed on AirAsia Bhd and Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) by the Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) over a short-lived collaboration between the two in 2012.
This followed Justice Datuk Hanipah Farikullah, who led the three-member bench, to set aside the High Court decision on Dec 20, 2018 that ordered both airlines to pay the fines and overturned an earlier decision by the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) decision in February 2016 to allow their appeal.
Justice Hanipah ruled that MyCC should have abided by the decision imposed by the CAT and not filed the judicial review to challenge the CAT s decision.
