Procedural Posture

Civil / Judgment on Jurisdictional/interlocutory Application (motion to Strike Out Under Order 18 R19(1) and Stay Under Order 12 R10)

  1. 1 Whether the plaintiffs' causes of action fall within s.82 Co-operative Societies Act 1993 and must be referred to the Commission
  2. 2 Whether the Sessions Court has jurisdiction to hear claims arising from alleged breaches of sale agreements and related remedies
  3. 3 Whether the defendants' strike‑out/stay application under Order 18 r19(1) and Order 12 r10 should succeed

Ratio Decidendi

On the balance of probabilities the plaintiffs' claims arise from breaches of sale agreements and related contractual remedies which fall outside the scope of s.82 Co‑operative Societies Act 1993; therefore the mandatory reference to the Commission does not apply and the Sessions Court has jurisdiction to hear the dispute; accordingly the defendants' application to stay/strike out the proceedings (paragraph 26) is dismissed.

Court Disposition

Application dismissed; court retains jurisdiction to hear plaintiffs' contractual claims.

Orders

  • Application in paragraph 26 dismissed with costs RM4,000.00.
