Mahkamah Tinggi tolak saman RM1 juta remaja cedera selepas kerusi ditarik

Mahkamah Tinggi in Malaysia has dismissed a RM1 million civil suit filed by a young girl with cerebral palsy and her mother against six defendants, following an incident in 2023. The plaintiff, a 12-year-old girl at the time, suffered severe back injuries after falling at school when another student allegedly pulled a chair. The court ruled that the plaintiff failed to prove causation between the alleged negligence and the additional injuries claimed.

The plaintiff acknowledged that the incident occurred without malice or delay, but the court found insufficient evidence to establish a breach of duty or any reasonable care that could have prevented the fall. The plaintiff's legal representative, Sofian Azmir, plans to appeal the decision soon, arguing that the case involves a person with special needs and proper monitoring should have been in place.
