The appeal is dismissed because the Appellant failed to comply with the mandatory requirement in section 21 of the Moneylenders Act to produce the statement of account when filing suit; appellate intervention was unwarranted as the Magistrate’s factual findings were supported by evidence; restitution under section 66 Contracts Act is unavailable because the Appellant did not plead it or show unawareness of any illegality and cannot escape the statutory strict-compliance regime; costs RM8,000 awarded to Respondent.
