Procedural Posture

Civil Contract Dispute (sale of Land) / Sessions Court – Trial Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the Purchaser was entitled to rescind the sale agreement for failure to obtain a loan
  2. 2 Whether the Purchaser was entitled to repayment of the RM650,000 deposit
  3. 3 Whether KOPSYA qualified as a 'licensed financial institution' under the contract/National Land Code

Ratio Decidendi

Clause 3 Schedule 3 of the SPA allowed rescission if the Purchaser could not obtain a loan from any bank or any licensed financial institution within six months; KOPSYA qualifies as an 'institusi kewangan' under the National Land Code as a cooperative conducting financial business; the KOPSYA correspondence amounted to a refusal; Plaintiff gave timely notice within the contractual period; therefore Plaintiff validly rescinded the agreement and is entitled to repayment of the RM650,000 deposit with interest and costs; Defendant's counterclaim failed for lack of proof of loss.

Court Disposition

Plaintiff's claim allowed; Defendant's counterclaim dismissed.

Orders

  • Defendant shall pay Plaintiff RM650,000.00 (refund of deposit)
  • Defendant shall pay interest on RM650,000.00 at 5% per annum from date of filing of writ until full settlement
