D. Anything a client tells the attorney must remain confidential, unless it is regarding a future crime.
Answer:
GHB Sdn Bhd and Sandhu
The prospect for Sandhu to recover the extra commission negotiated with Ahmad during golf is very remote.
1. It was made under undue influence, when Ahmad could have lacked the capacity to make a binding contract. In addition, at that time, Sandhu disclosed that the land was being sought after by many other parties as a way of piling unnecessary pressure on Ahmad.
2. There was no intention to create a legal relation because the additional commission represents a counter-offer. Since the earlier offer was fully documented, this additional offer should have also followed the same process if the company intended to be legally bound.
3. There is lack of consideration to back this additional contract. In the first place, the main contract with Sandhu was made in view of his negotiation skills. So what is Sandhu expected to offer the company in exchange for the extra commission? Nothing.
Explanation:
GHB cannot be expected to promise 0.5% extra commission on a deal, which was equivalent to RM2 million, when an already executed contract for 3% commission had been reached. One can also claim that Ahmad, who suffered from occasional dementia, could have made the promise without the intention for it to be binding on his company but as a way of encouraging Sandhu to close the deal in favor of GHB. Was the deal closed because of the extra commission? No.
Answer: It is a proper question
Explanation:
The witness is making a claim about what had transpired between the defendant and the plaintiff and in order for their testimony to stand, they need to have integrity such that a reasonable person can believe their testimony in this case.
In asking about the false claim that the witness had once filed, the defendant is trying to establish that the witness has no integrity and so in proving their untruthfulness, the defendant hopes to convince the court that the witness does not have enough integrity to be a witness.

Answer: Option 1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are different benches in the parliament. Different benches show different rulings. The benches which are in the front row are for the ministers which are important and have high rankings in the parliament. The ministers and the shadow ministers sit in the front row of the parliament.
The people who are not even the ministers or the shadow ministers sit in the back benches of the parliament or in the rows behind the rows of the front benches. A person who sits on the cross bench is the one from the independent or the minor party member.
