PA-22NCVC-147-06/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court held that Order 72 r.2(3) is a mandatory, jurisdictional prerequisite to commencing a revocation probate action; failure to comply is fatal and cannot be cured under Order 1A or by estoppel, therefore the preliminary legal question raised under Order 14A was determinative and the defendant's application (Enclosure 185) was allowed.

PA-22NCVC-96-04/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Application dismissed because it was made under the wrong provision (Order 57 r.1); even when considered under the correct provision (Order 4 r.1) the three suits do not share sufficient common questions of law or fact beyond having the same alleged wrongdoers, the alleged breaches in other suits are not relevant to Suit 96, the similar fact exception does not apply, and there is no risk of issue estoppel or res judicata that would justify transfer or consolidation.
