PA-22NCvC-211-11/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Plaintiff failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the insurer committed fraud (no reliable evidence that the adjuster paid RM500, crucial witness Fadzli did not testify and documentary/video evidence was not produced); therefore the section 96(3) declaratory order stands and plaintiff's claim to nullify it is dismissed with costs.

WA-22NCvC-820-12/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Plaintiff failed to discharge the burden of proof on a balance of probabilities, refused to give oral evidence and therefore suffered an adverse inference under s.114(g) EA 1950; moreover the ownership of the disputed safe deposit boxes had been finally determined by the 2003 High Court order and the present claims are barred by res judicata — accordingly the Plaintiff's claim is dismissed.
