BA-23NCvC-67-12/2024 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The Court dismissed both strike out applications because the stringent threshold for summary striking out under Order 18 r19(1) was not met; the Plaintiffs' pleadings could not be categorised as plainly or obviously unsustainable and the contested issues of fact and law (conspiracy, fraud, duty of care, and potential piercing of the corporate veil) require full trial; unsuccessful defendants may seek costs at the trial's conclusion.

BA-22NCvC-161-04/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court struck out the Plaintiff's Writ and Statement of Claim because the claims are barred by res judicata as extended by Henderson v Henderson given the earlier DSCAFF proceedings and the Plaintiff's participation therein; alternatively, the doctrine of privity of contract prevents the Plaintiff from relying on the PM-MCM Contract absent novation or other recognized exception; no duty of care, unjust enrichment or constructive trust were established on the evidence; therefore the striking out applications succeed and costs are awarded.

PA-23NCvC-3-01/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Time ran from the dates the alleged negligence and damage occurred (10.11.2014 and 11.11.2014); the plaintiff's claimed mental and emotional injuries constitute personal injury; Limitation Act 1953 s6A does not apply because it is limited to negligence not involving personal injury and aimed at latent construction/property damage; consequently the action filed on 25.1.2021 was time-barred and the writ and statement of claim as against the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants were struck out as an abuse of process under Order 18 r19(1)(d).
