PUNCAK GALI HARMONI SDN BHD EMRAIL SDN BHD

Plaintiff established a serious issue to be tried but failed on discretionary grounds: damages are essentially adequate for the commercial losses alleged, the injunction sought was broad and would impose substantial operational restraints on a public railway rehabilitation project, the balance of convenience favoured refusal, public interest reinforced that conclusion, and no narrower neutral order could be fashioned; therefore the interim injunction (Enclosure 3) is dismissed.
