We successfully defended the then senior opposition leader, Rafizi Ramli in a defamation suit pertaining to statements he published concerning the National Feedlot Corporation scandal. The Federal Court reiterated and clarified the principles underpinning the defence of fair comment, and ultimately the right to free speech and ruled in favour of En Rafizi.
