The plaintiff failed to satisfy the Order 24 r7A threshold: the requests were vague, speculative and overly broad; the bank is not shown to be the exclusive custodian of the contested company documents which are accessible from company secretarial records and SSM; the plaintiff did not demonstrate necessity or exhaustion of alternative remedies; bank confidentiality and potential prejudice to criminal processes outweigh the applicant's need — therefore third-party discovery from the bank is refused and the application dismissed with costs.

The originating summons was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to show that pre‑action discovery was necessary under Order 24 r.7A: the documents were not necessary to determine a viable claim, the plaintiff had admitted facts which undermined its case and the application amounted to a fishing expedition; dismissal with costs was appropriate.

Lampiran 105 was cancelled because the defendants failed to comply with mandatory prerequisites in O.24 r.7A(2) and (4) ROC 2012: the notice of application and supporting affidavit were not served personally on the third party (MBIAB), and affidavits filed through the plaintiff's solicitors could not substitute for personal service; the procedural non-compliance rendered the application defective and warranted cancellation without costs, while leaving open the right to refile.
