JA-24NCvC-635-05/2025 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

On the balance of probabilities the defendants are occupiers who became trespassers following the 26 February 2014 court order and have not raised any bona fide triable issues (implied permission, estoppel, oral relocation agreement or constitutional rights) that would prevent summary relief under Order 89; therefore plaintiff, as registered proprietor under s.340 NLC, is entitled to vacant possession.

The court found the prior owner's permission to occupy had been validly revoked and eviction notices issued, the second and third defendants failed to show lawful continuing permission or raise any triable issue, and as registered proprietor of a 3/16 share the plaintiff is entitled to immediate possession; therefore the originating summons under Order 89 was properly allowed.

The Plaintiff being the registered proprietor held indefeasible title and had not given licence or consent; the temporary occupation licence relied upon had expired and did not confer ongoing rights; the Defendants failed to demonstrate any triable issue or valid licence/consent; therefore the matter was properly disposed of summarily under Order 89 RoC and the Plaintiff was entitled to possession and the reliefs ordered.

WA-24NCvC-1954-07/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The application to be added as a defendant was dismissed because the originating proceedings had concluded following the grant and extraction of the order for possession (so O 89 r 5 could not be invoked post‑judgment) and, on the merits, the applicant failed to establish any legal or equitable interest in the land as he was a squatter and thus not entitled to be joined; costs awarded to the Plaintiff.

Because the plaintiff is the registered proprietor with indefeasible title under section 340 NLC, no fraud or forgery was shown, and the defendants are unauthorised occupants whose affidavits were deficient, the plaintiff is entitled to an order for recovery of possession; costs are not awarded.
