Dalam kes Dinesh Kanavaji A/L Kanawagi & Anor V Ragumaren A/L N Gopal (Majlis Peguam, Intervener) [2018] 2 MLJ 265, Mahkamah Persekutuan memutuskan seperti berikut: (1) … The court should only interfere with the finding of facts and recommendations of the DC: (i) when the findings were manifestly perverse; (ii) the DC/DB had failed as right-thinking members of the Bar to give due consideration to the facts of the case and the conduct of the solicitor complained against; and (iii) there had been a breach of natural justice… The DC and/or like bodies, being a collegiate of peers, must be allowed to make findings of fact based on their experience in the profession under any given circumstances. The court must not substitute itself in the position of the DC in its review role. It was not for the court to say on the facts that the offending solicitor was guilty of professional misconduct or otherwise. Arguments on the merits should not be enunciated by the court and strong credence must be given to the findings of the DC, which, after all, was subject to review by the DB which also consisted of peers. Merujuk kepada kes di atas, saya mengambil pendirian yang sama bahawa Mahkamah tidak seharusnya meletakkan dirinya di tempat DC dalam melaksanakan peranan semakannya atau menentukkan kesalahan peguambela dan peguamcara yang terlibat. Namun, dalam dapatan saya, Mahkamah ini hendaklah memastikan bahawa keputusan yang dibuat oleh DC adalah melalui proses undang-undang yang betul dan tidak berlakunya ketidakadilan kehakiman (miscarriage of justice).
