PA-22NCvC-61-03/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Enclosure 135 is inadmissible because it does not raise any new serious question to be tried, affidavit evidence for the injunction proceeding had been exhausted and submissions had commenced, and the Plaintiff did not seek leave of court to file the additional affidavit as required under the authority of Lum Choon Realty; therefore Enclosure 135 cannot be used or referred to in the injunction application.

WA-25-482-10/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court dismissed the judicial review because the Industrial Court’s factual findings were supported by evidence and credibility assessments, the insubordination did not amount to a material breach justifying dismissal, the doctrine of proportionality properly justified reinstatement and the backwages award complied with the Second Schedule and judicial discretion; the affidavit technicality was cured and did not prejudice the respondents.
