On the court record

Ainna Sherina binti Saipolamin's reported practice is in administrative and constitutional litigation, appearing in the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court, frequently on the side of the State and its officers, and acting for respondents and appellants.

One matter concerns public-service discipline. Acting for a respondent in a High Court judicial review, the challenge was to a decision of the Public Services Disciplinary Appeal Board (Lembaga Rayuan Tatatertib Perkhidmatan Awam), on whether there had been non-compliance with the 1993 disciplinary regulations in reporting a prolonged absence, whether a second charge amounted to double jeopardy, whether a delay of several years was inordinate or a condonation, and whether a failure to consider the applicant's medical evidence and to convene an investigation committee amounted to procedural unfairness.

A further group of matters concerns judicial review and the powers of the Attorney General. In related Federal Court proceedings, in which she acted for an appellant, and in a related High Court committal-leave matter, in which she acted for a respondent, the issues included the Attorney General's role at the leave stage of judicial review under Order 53 rule 3(3) of the Rules of Court 2012, the threshold for admitting fresh evidence at the appellate stage under rule 7(3A) of the Rules of the Court of Appeal 1994 and its relationship to Ladd v Marshall, and the justiciability of a decision of the Pardons Board on a royal pardon. The practice is administrative and constitutional litigation, weighted towards the defence of decisions of public bodies and the scope of the powers they exercise. Whether the decision under review is a disciplinary board's finding or the Attorney General's stance in judicial review, the recurring task is to defend the exercise of a public power and to define the limits of what a court may examine. The judgments move between the procedural fairness owed by an administrative body and the deeper constitutional questions of justiciability and the separation of powers.
