The application was dismissed because it was filed 8 days late beyond the 30‑day period under Order 42 r.13, the defendants failed to show special circumstances or a satisfactory explanation for the delay, and the proposed defence did not disclose merit or triable issues; the recorded JID was regular and the RM200,000 payment constituted an acknowledgement of indebtedness.

High Court
Case number

PA-12ANCvC-29-06/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court set aside the JID in its entirety because the Defendant demonstrated bona fide applications and produced a plausible meritorious defence raising triable issues that were not considered in the JID—notably potential deduction of LAD under s35 COVID-19 Act 2020 and force majeure/Clause 27 issues—such that the JID was entered without adjudication on merits and would unjustly enrich the Plaintiff; the matter must proceed to full trial and the Defendant given leave to appear and defend.
