MFM joint venture granted leave for judicial review of MyCC decision

KUALA LUMPUR: Malayan Flour Mills Bhd’s (MFM) joint venture, Dindings Poultry Development Centre Sdn Bhd (DPDC), has been granted leave by the High Court on Jan 2, 2025, to judicially review the Malaysia Competition Commission's (MyCC) decision.

The review concerns the Competition Appeal Tribunal's (CAT) ruling on a stay.

“The High Court has also granted an ad interim stay pending the determination of the stay application. The inter parte hearing of the stay application has been fixed on April 8, 2025,” MFM said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.

The judicial review follows DPDC’s challenge to CAT’s decision, which rejected its request for a stay on a RM70mil penalty imposed by the MyCC for alleged price-fixing cartel activities.
