FAISAL @ AHMAD FAISAL BIN HUSSAIN Ahmad Fikri Bin Hussein (Selaku Pentadbir Harta Pusaka Simati, Hussein Bin Yaacob)

The recorded consent judgment of 13.4.2023 was a full and final settlement covering claims relating to the deceased's estate and expressly barred both parties from instituting any further claims in any Malaysian court concerning that estate; the present originating summons seeks relief that falls within that prohibition and is therefore res judicata and an abuse of process, justifying striking out under Order 18 r.19 KKM; however the plaintiff is not a vexatious litigant under Regulation 17.
