JUDGMENT

Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat CJ:

Introduction

[1] Enclosure 1 is an application pursuant to r 137 of the Rules of the Federal Court 1995 to review and set aside the order of this court dated 19 February 2021.

This court delivered two written judgments - one on behalf of the majority ('majority judgment') and the other the dissenting judgment ('minority judgment').

[3] After carefully considering parties' written submissions and upon hearing their oral submissions, we were satisfied that the high threshold of review was made out and as such, we unanimously allowed encl 1.

[4] We now provide our reasons for the said decision.
