BA-22NCvC-580-12/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The plaintiffs are squatters on State Land and therefore have no reasonable cause of action to claim title or enforce alienation; the pleadings are obviously unsustainable, amount to an abuse of process by attempting to shortcut the statutory alienation regime vested in the State Authority, and the claim is frivolous/vexatious and must be struck out.

AA-24NCvC-373-12/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Plaintiff being the registered proprietor proved title and intention to regain possession; defendants failed to adduce credible documentary evidence of any licence, permission or state acquiescence and thus failed to show any triable issue; the Order 89 summary procedure was appropriate and the plaintiff's application was allowed.

WA-25-60-01/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Application dismissed because it was brought against the wrong defendant (no decision by the named Respondent), the applicant failed to exhaust the statutory appeal under section 418 NLC (no exceptional circumstances shown), and there was no arguable case since applicant was an unlawful occupier barred from acquiring title by s48 NLC and s425 criminalises such occupation; evidence of utilities or unproduced licence did not establish lawful right.
