WA-22NCvC-527-08/2024 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Plaintiffs' writ and statement of claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action because the disciplinary board had statutory power to dismiss following the plaintiffs' criminal convictions and admissions; the reliefs sought improperly seek to overturn an administrative decision which should be challenged by judicial review, therefore the claim is struck out.

The plaintiffs' claims were struck out because they lacked locus standi to pursue causes of action properly vested in the liquidators (Companies Act 2016 s486 and Twelfth Schedule), the claims effectively sought to relitigate matters already finally determined in prior petitions and were therefore barred by res judicata/issue estoppel, and the asserted causes of action accrued in 2014/2015 so the 2023 proceedings were statute-barred under Limitation Act 1953 s6(1); cumulatively the claims were plainly unsustainable and an abuse of process.

The High Court held LNH had no contractual cause of action against Paksi because there was no privity of contract between them and Clause 27.10 of the incorporated PAM Contract precluded such privity; the Sessions Court's refusal to strike out the claim against Paksi was a legal error and was set aside (strike out allowed); because Paksi was struck out LNH's challenge to the stay as to Paksi was dismissed; separately, the stay and reference of the dispute between LNH and TKH to arbitration under s10 Arbitration Act 2005 was mandatory and LNH's appeal against that stay was dismissed.

Because the defendant requested additional works after March 2014 and the parties agreed on 13 September 2018 that the balance would be determined by TNB's remeasurement, the sum due was not ascertained until September 2018; therefore the cause of action accrued in September 2018 and the claim filed 14 May 2020 was within the limitation period. The defendant's strike out application therefore failed.
