Procedural Posture

Civil (guaman Sivil) / Interlocutory Striking Out Application Under Order 18 Rule 19 (kaedah‑kaedah Mahkamah 2012)

  1. 1 Whether plaintiffs have locus standi to sue as individuals for fees claimed on behalf of a partnership firm
  2. 2 Whether a non‑lawyer plaintiff (Plaintiff 3) has standing to claim legal fees
  3. 3 Whether failure to serve a bill of costs as required by s124 Legal Profession Act 1976 renders the claim premature

Ratio Decidendi

The claim was struck out on locus standi grounds because the asserted cause of action was on behalf of a partnership yet the action was not brought in the name of the firm or in the names of all partners; additionally Plaintiff 3 is not a lawyer and lacked standing; failure to serve a bill of costs under s124 and an inordinate seven‑year delay reinforced the basis to allow the defendant's strike‑out application (Lampiran 14) in part.

Court Disposition

Application in Lampiran 14 allowed in part (paragraph 1 granted); plaintiffs lacked locus standi for the suit as pleaded.

Orders

  • Lampiran 14 allowed for paragraph 1 only
  • Costs of MYR 5,000 payable by the Plaintiffs to the Defendant subject to taxation
