The appeal is dismissed because the Sessions Court at Batu Pahat is the forum conveniens: the cause of action, witnesses and connecting facts are primarily in Batu Pahat/Muar; the respondent as dominus litis may choose the forum; the appellant failed to satisfy the court that Seremban was a more appropriate forum; the Sessions Court judge's refusal to transfer was not plainly wrong and merits deference.
