Procedural Posture

Originating Summons Under S.347 and S.348 Companies Act 2016; Pre Action Discovery Application Under Order 24 R.7 a Rules of Court 2012 / Judgment on Pre Action Discovery Originating Summons (application Dismissed)

  1. 1 Whether the plaintiff satisfied the requirements of Order 24 r.7A(3) Rules of Court 2012 for pre-action disclosure
  2. 2 Whether the documents requested are specific, relevant and necessary to determine if there is a cause of action or whether the application is an impermissible fishing expedition

Ratio Decidendi

Plaintiff failed to satisfy the mandatory high threshold under Order 24 r.7A(3) and r.8 Rules of Court 2012 by not demonstrating a bona fide cause of action or how the broadly framed requested documents were directly relevant and necessary to institute proceedings; the application was speculative and an impermissible fishing expedition, especially given plaintiff had been offered two inspections of documents; accordingly pre-action disclosure was refused and costs awarded to defendants.

Court Disposition

Originating summons for pre-action disclosure dismissed

Orders

  • Plaintiff's originating summons (Lampiran 1) dismissed
  • Costs of RM5000.00 awarded to the Defendants
