Bar council to pay RM70,000 costs to Lingam
PUTRAJAYA: The Bar Council must pay RM70,000 in costs to lawyer Datuk V. K. Lingam in connection with the decision to set up a tribunal to investigate a complaint against him, over an alleged vacation to New Zealand with former chief justice Tun Mohd Eusoff Chin in 1994.
On Oct 14, the Federal Court Deputy Registrar ordered the Bar to pay the amount to Lingam.
