BA-22NCvC-335-08/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The plaintiff's claim does not fall within Order 72 because it does not seek revocation of a grant or a general pronouncement on the validity of the will but instead contests whether the subject property ever formed part of the alleged testator's estate and seeks recovery on the basis of fraudulent transfer; therefore the mandatory citation requirement under Order 72 was not triggered and the preliminary objection failed; costs awarded RM4,000 to plaintiff.

WA-21NCvC-50-03/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The claim was struck out as a plain and obvious abuse of process barred by res judicata; the plaintiff failed to plead facts establishing jurisdictional nullity or fraud/connivance sufficient to justify a collateral attack on the OS 100 orders; procedural defects did not create a valid cause of action and the plaintiff should have appealed or applied to set aside in the original proceedings; costs awarded.
