Procedural Posture

Civil Judicial Review Challenge to Labour Arbitration Award / Decision on Interlocutory Applications to Strike Out Under Order 18 R 19 and Application for Stay/suspension

  1. 1 Whether plaintiff showed special circumstances to suspend enforcement of the labour award
  2. 2 Whether defendants 1–5's strike out application under Order 18 r19(1)(b)/(c)/(d) had merit
  3. 3 Whether defendants 6–43's strike out application under Order 18 r19(1)(b)/(c)/(d) had merit

Ratio Decidendi

The writ and statement of claim were struck out because the claim improperly challenged a public authority decision by writ instead of by judicial review under Order 53, was barred by res judicata (identical issues previously adjudicated) and was statute‑barred under s2(a) Public Authority Protection Act 1948 (36 months), rendering the pleadings plainly unsustainable and an abuse of process.

Court Disposition

Allowed defendants' strike out applications; writ and statement of claim struck out; plaintiff's application to suspend enforcement/payment refused as academic/denied

Orders

  • Permitted Defendants 1–5 application to strike out Writ and Statement of Claim under Order 18 r19(1)(b)/(c)/(d) with costs RM3000.00
  • Permitted Defendants 6–43 application to strike out Writ and Statement of Claim under Order 18 r19(1)(b)/(c)/(d) with costs RM3000.00
