Defendants failed to establish the requisite special circumstances related to enforcement of the judgment; their concerns were speculative, they did not explain non-compliance with the judgment, security was inappropriate given the trust nature of the shares and the accounting order, and an appeal and lodged record alone do not justify a stay; therefore the stay application was refused and costs awarded.

WA-22NCvC-566-09/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The application for stay was dismissed because the defendant's affidavit materially contradicted the exhibited documents (notice of appeal filed on 5/10/2023 not 20/9/2023 and no appeal against the 31/3/2023 judgment exhibited) and the defendant failed to show exceptional circumstances: alleged hardship is compensable monetarily, stay would unfairly deprive the plaintiff of judicially ordered rights, and the defendant's ability to repurchase was speculative and unsupported.

The application for stay was dismissed because Article 121(1A) of the Federal Constitution bars the civil High Court from intervening in matters within the jurisdiction of the Syariah courts; the court had already dismissed the judicial review for lack of jurisdiction and it would be inconsistent and prejudicial to permit a stay that interferes with Syariah proceedings.

KES PASCA PENGGULUNGAN SYARIKAT NO. WA-28PW-308-08/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Application dismissed because the company itself lacked locus under s492(1); affidavit deponent was not proven to be a contributory; the respondent failed to establish special circumstances tied to enforcement of the winding up order; the JVA and facts relied on predated the winding up so Order 45 r11 did not apply; therefore stay was not warranted.

RA-24C(ARB)-2-07/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

High Court has jurisdiction under ss 43 and 73 Courts of Judicature Act 1964 read with Order 45 r11 ROC to grant an interim stay of proceedings against an application to register an arbitral award under s 38 Arbitration Act 2005; defendants demonstrated special circumstances, including risk that appeal would be nugatory and significant public interest due to large award, thereby justifying an interim stay pending disposal of the appeal.
