XXXX v XXXX

01f-5-02-2023t Federal Court (Mahkamah Persekutuan) 15 October 2023 • 01(f)-5-02/2023(T)

Catchwords

These appeals concern a most unfortunate event of assault in a residential school, what is frequently referred to as ‘school bullying’. Schools of any arrangement are for learning, where a person is educated in the many disciplines and subjects, preparing them for responsibilities, choices and positions in life. These are important formative years where personalities are formed and traits enhanced. It is therefore only reasonable and fair to expect that these places of learning, even if residential facilities are provided, are safe and conducive. In the case of residential schools, the responsibility would obviously be even wider and more extensive.
