The application was dismissed because its intitulement cited a non-existent or incorrect provision (Aturan 43 Kaedah 13) in the Kaedah-Kaedah Mahkamah 2012, rendering the application irregular; the defendants failed to apply to amend the intitulement despite being put on notice, therefore the court refused the application to set aside the default judgments and awarded costs to the plaintiff.

Because the consent judgment did not specify joint and several liability, liability was joint and the Creditor could not validly claim the whole judgment sum from the Judgment Debtor alone; the sums in the BN/CP were therefore defective and capable of reasonably misleading the debtor, and the SAR lacked jurisdiction to order amendments that prejudiced the debtor; accordingly the appeals to set aside the BN and CP were allowed.

Non-compliance with Rule 90(1)(b) did not invalidate the bankruptcy notice because the defect was remedied by filing and service of a supplementary affidavit and was curable under Rule 282 and section 131; the overstated interest (RM684.93) was a minor calculational error curable by amendment under section 93(3) and s3(2)(ii) did not mandate invalidation where no prejudice or substantial injustice resulted; the Court declined to set aside the notice and allowed amendment, exercising discretion accordingly.
