PA-22NCC-5-01/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Plaintiff proved the debt on a balance of probabilities by producing a statement of account and 54 tax invoices, supported by part payments and tacit admission in Exhibit P1; the defendants failed to prove their counterclaim due to lack of corroborating documentary evidence, internal discrepancies, apparent afterthought, and parts being time‑barred, therefore plaintiff’s claim is allowed and counterclaim dismissed.

Contemporaneous invoices, time cards, statements and acknowledged communications established the plaintiff's entitlement to summary judgment for unpaid rentals of RM1,245,956.62; only the defendant's counterclaim arising from the collapse of five prestressed girder beams raised triable issues, justifying a stay of execution for RM363,892.16 pending trial of that counterclaim; the defendant's unilateral proposal to contra machinery did not defeat recovery of at least RM882,064.46; the 3% per month interest was not recoverable and 5% per annum interest was awarded from 08.01.2021 until full rea…

Plaintiff established title and entitlement via valid SPAs with the liquidator and payment of the agreed redemption sum; Defendants failed to raise any bona fide triable defence supported by facts (allegations of lack of locus, duress, proof of debt and need for insolvency sanction were unsupported or irrelevant); therefore summary judgment is appropriate against the 1st Defendant for declarations of ownership and vacant possession and prohibitory orders, costs awarded; other reliefs lacking evidence or appropriate procedure were refused.

WA-22C-59-07/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Defendants admitted the substantive debt and failed to establish a bona fide defence or triable issue; the non-delivery of the contra properties amounted to repudiation permitting Plaintiff to rescind the Settlement Agreement and claim the outstanding sum including late interest; therefore summary judgment is granted for RM2,122,392.46 with interest and costs.

High Court held plaintiff satisfied Order 14 requirements and defendants, having filed no affidavit and no documentary evidence, failed to raise any credible triable issues; the statements in the defence were bare and unsubstantiated and amounted to admission by silence, therefore the Sessions Court's refusal of summary judgment was set aside and the appeal allowed with costs.
