JA-A73KJ-887-06/2020 (Mahkamah Majistret)

Application dismissed because the plaintiff was already a party and therefore not a person "not already a party" capable of being joined by a third party notice under Order 16; additionally the application was an abuse of process filed after an unless order/case management directions, causing undue delay, and therefore leave was refused with costs in the cause.

S-06A-18-06/2018 (Mahkamah Rayuan)

High Court did not err in refusing to transmit the constitutional questions to the Federal Court because it reasonably exercised its discretion under s84 CJA: the questions were not necessary for final determination, were largely repetitive of earlier applications, and referral would have delayed an expeditious trial; thus appeal dismissed and trial ordered to proceed with the High Court's answers not treated as binding.

POST WINDING UP NO. WA-28NCC-800-08/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court exercised its discretion under s469(3) and refused Enclosure 35 because the disputed matters raised either could be decided on affidavit and contemporaneous documents, were not central to the single issue of whether a debt existed, or would convert the petition into a full trial and cause unjustified delay; no special circumstances justified ordering cross-examination, therefore the application was dismissed with costs.
