Harpers Trading (M) Sdn Bhd v National Union of Commercial Workers

[1991] 1 MLJ 417
SUPREME COURT OF MALAYSIA

It seems to us that it should be treated as trite law that judicial review is not an appeal from a decision but a review of the manner in which the decision was made and the High Court is not entitled on an application for judicial review to consider whether the decision itself, on the merits of the facts, was fair and reasonable. There is no dearth of authorities on this proposition — Tan Hin Jin v Prabhulal G Doshi [1971] 1 MLJ 274
