The High Court held the 27.08.2019 agreement was admissible and binding as it was executed in counterparts and exchanged by email (s62 Evidence Act) and properly admitted under the court's discretion (s73A(2)(b)); the trial judge's factual finding that the plaintiff completed works at Felda Pasir Raja was not plainly wrong given the direct, consistent testimony of the site manager and the defendants' failure to produce payment evidence or call key witnesses; the Ayer Hitam claim failed because the material facts supporting a separate oral contract were not pleaded and the plaintiff could not…

On the balance of probabilities the Court found the written agreements were valid and binding as pleaded; the Plaintiff lacked privity to the second agreement (it was between Defendant and the Plaintiff's son) and therefore could not rely on it; the Plaintiff failed to prove fraud or misrepresentation and had inconsistent testimony; accordingly the Plaintiff's claim failed and was dismissed.

The Court held the Mutual Agreement was valid and binding because acceptance was effectively communicated by the parties' conduct and correspondence; the Mutual Agreement governs the plaintiffs' claim and obviates re‑litigation of background investment arrangements; summary judgment was appropriate because the defendants' challenges raised no triable issues of merit; the 3rd and 4th defendants cannot be held personally liable absent personal guarantees or proof of fraud.

The Court held that the 48‑month completion period runs from the date of receipt of the earnest deposit monies by the agent (Messrs NK Tan & Rahim) from the purchasers; the cause of action to claim LAD accrues on the date the purchaser takes vacant possession or the developer completes common facilities and therefore the Plaintiffs are not challenging the validity of SPA clauses such that the claims are not time‑barred; Plaintiffs entitled to LAD quantified per agreed Table A, with interest and costs as ordered.

The High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: the collective email correspondence, subsequent conduct, performance, and payments established enforceable contracts for the three assignments and demonstrated acceptance and certainty of terms; the 1st Appellant acted personally in creating obligations and is therefore jointly liable with the company; there was no basis for appellate interference.

The court found on the evidence that Plaintiffs were not parties to the Gold SPA; the 382.70 grams of gold were advanced by Plaintiffs and Defendants were informed at the 16.1.2023 meeting that those grams belonged to Plaintiffs and had to be returned; Defendants unlawfully converted both the 382.70 grams and the 224.70 grams taken on 24.2.2023 by using intimidation and self-help (including employing a police sergeant and a gang); exemplary damages were warranted to punish and deter such conduct; accordingly judgment was entered for Plaintiffs ordering return/value of the gold, RM250,000 exem…

P6 is a valid written mining operations agreement signed by the parties; Asia Integral failed on the balance of probabilities to prove that the RM950,000 was a loan or that processed ore had been sold so as to trigger broader entitlements; under P6 Asia Integral's recoverable operational/processing charges were limited and payable only upon sale proceeds and DTN was entitled to set off the RM800,000 deposit; DTN proved entitlement to minimum profit pro rata for three months (RM1,500,000) and to general damages for unreturned ore (RM877,938). Asia Integral's claims are dismissed with costs.

The court struck out the writ and statement of claim against both defendants because the pleadings failed to disclose any reasonable cause of action against Defendant One (all relevant references related to Defendant Two and there was no contractual link to Defendant One) and the Plaintiff had not amended or pleaded any cause of action against Defendant Two within a reasonable time; the claim was therefore frivolous/scandalous and an abuse of process, warranting dismissal with costs.

Claim struck out because Plaintif failed to establish formation of a binding contract: no award letter was communicated to Plaintif, the documents relied upon were internal and one was cancelled, D1/D2 are not proper suable entities, and the claim seeks remedies (including injunctions) that are constrained by statutory limits; therefore the pleadings disclosed no reasonable cause of action and were frivolous/vexatious and an abuse of process.
