On the balance of probabilities the plaintiff failed to prove payment of the purchase price or redemption sums and therefore failed to establish the necessary elements of unjust enrichment; absence of credible documentary evidence (including the 'Acknowledgement') meant no damages for unjust enrichment could be awarded.

Although defendants were 100% liable for the collision, plaintiff failed to prove special damages for vehicle repair because the only documentary evidence was an estimate (P5) and there were no receipts, payment vouchers or witness evidence of payment; therefore the court awarded nominal damages of RM500 and interest and costs as ordered.

The High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: plaintiffs proved the SPA, payment of the 10% deposit and the balance via deposit slips and transaction lawyer testimony; defendants' contrary story was unpleaded and therefore inadmissible as justification; remittance evidence (including transfers by a party beyond the seas) was admissible under s73A; there was no basis to draw an adverse inference under s114; appellate interference was unwarranted absent a plainly wrong finding.

The default judgment was regular; the plaintiff produced convincing documentary evidence (six cheques, payment vouchers signed by TCHC's representative and an accounting) that the RM1,000,000 was paid and defendants failed to provide particulars or a credible rebuttal showing a prima facie defence on the merits; silence and lack of denial in earlier correspondence and the defendants' execution of guarantees further supported the plaintiff's position; therefore the defendants' application to set aside the default judgment was dismissed and the defendants' post-judgment memorandum of appearance…
