High Court affirms the registration of in house union – MAYNEU (Maybank Non-Executive Union)

 

MAYNEU, which is the in-house union of Maybank that represents the non-executive employees of the Bank was registered by the Director-General of Trade Union on 3.1.2011.

NUBE (National Union of Bank Employees) aggrieved by the registration, filed a Judicial Review (JR) application on 10.2.2011 to challenge the registration of MAYNEU and obtained an Interim Stay Order against MAYNEU.

NUBE’s application for Judicial Review was heard recently and on 7.11.2013, the High Court delivered its judgment to dismiss NUBE’s JR application. This High Court judgment therefore affirms the legality of the registration of MAYNEU.

It is reported that NUBE would file an appeal to the Court of Appeal over the High Court decision and will also apply for a Stay Order pending the disposal of the appeal.
