Defendant

Procedural Posture

Civil Claim (guaman Sivik) / Strike Out Application Under Order 18 R.19 (lampiran 65) at Sessions Court (reasons for Judgment)

  1. 1 Whether the defendant's counterclaim disclosed a reasonable cause of action
  2. 2 Whether the 1988 lease agreement and its schedules bind the parties and allocate maintenance obligations
