Pre-existing interest
  • ABDUL RAHIM SHARIFF v MUSTAFFA JUNID

    Citation
    ABDUL RAHIM SHARIFF v MUSTAFFA JUNID
    Court
    Malaysian court

    Because Mustaffa was not the administrator of his father's estate at the material time he had no legal interest recognised by law and therefore no locus to present a claim under s.53(1); the Deputy Commissioner's inquiry and vesting order based on that claim were void for want of jurisdiction; non-personal service of Form F did not breach natural justice in the circumstances; accordingly the void order may be set aside and the Registrar ordered to expunge entries under s.340(2)(c).
