On the judicial record
A High Court judge whose reported corpus spans industrial-relations review, legal-profession discipline, construction and road-traffic disputes, and criminal appeals, much of it in Bahasa Malaysia.
Justice Norsharidah binti Awang sits in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), and the reported decisions in this corpus are civil and criminal, with a strong appellate component from the subordinate and industrial courts and many judgments in Bahasa Malaysia. Industrial and employment law is a distinct strand: several decisions review Industrial Court awards, examining whether an employer–employee relationship existed within the meaning of the Industrial Relations Act 1967, whether two related companies were jointly the employer, and whether a claimant had been dismissed without just cause or excuse.
The regulation of the legal profession appears through an application to quash and stay an order of the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board pending appeal. Construction and contract disputes recur, including a civil action over the execution of a palm-oil-mill construction project and the balance claimed for the works, and road-traffic negligence appears through appeals from the Sessions Court where the High Court's intervention turned on whether the findings on liability were unsafe or unsupported by the evidence.
Constitutional citizenship also features, through an application for a declaration of citizenship status under Article 14(1)(b) of the Federal Constitution read with the Second Schedule where the applicants' father was a Malaysian citizen. Criminal appeals include a conviction under seksyen 15(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 (section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952) and the application of the statutory presumption under section 37(k), turning on compliance with section 31A and the reliability of a urine screening test, and appeals against conviction and sentence under seksyen 307 Kanun Keseksaan (section 307 of the Penal Code) read with seksyen 34 (section 34) for attempted culpable homicide. Default-judgment set-aside applications turning on whether service was properly effected by contract, and questions of whether a judgment was regularly obtained, round out a broad docket. The corpus reflects a High Court judge managing a mixed civil, industrial and criminal list, deciding each matter by close attention to the governing statute or rule and to whether the tribunal or subordinate court below applied the correct legal test to the facts it found.
