Defendant is legally and contractually liable under Strata Management Act 2013 and agreed pleadings to pay the claimed maintenance and related charges; the evidential record and witness admissions establish indebtedness on the balance of probabilities; the defenses raised (poor maintenance, winding up, inconsistent charging, lack of strata title) do not legally excuse payment; computer-printed invoices were admissible and plaintiff proved the sum; claim is allowed with costs.

High Court
Case number

WA-12BNCC-16-05/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court refused to upset the Session Court's findings because the Plaintiff's witnesses, despatch lists, computer‑generated account statements and a s90A(2) certificate sufficiently proved issuance/delivery of invoices and the outstanding debt of RM435,084.40, while the Defendant failed to produce contemporaneous evidence to rebut those findings or to show the Session Court's findings were perverse; laches was not pleaded and limitation did not bar the claim.
