YASAK BIN IBRAHIM 1. ) PEJABAT TANAH DAN GALIAN PULAU PINANG 2. ) Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang

The Court of Appeal affirmed the High Court: the plaintiff's cause of action accrued long before the 2019 writ, contemporaneous documents show knowledge and acceptance of compensation, and the claim is therefore time-barred under s2 Public Authorities Protection Act 1948 (36-month limit); consequently the striking out under Order 18 r19 was appropriate and the appeal is dismissed.
