WA-21NCvC-22-03/2024 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The Statement of Claim was struck out because it was brought against a non-legal entity (an administrative 'Pejabat' lacking capacity to be sued) and the cause of action was statute-barred under Section 2(a) PAPA (accrual and actual knowledge by 3.3.2021), making the claim obviously unsustainable; the application to amend the intitulement was dismissed as not bona fide because it sought a substantive change of the litigant identity at a late, reactive stage and would amount to an abuse of process.

PA-22NCvC-223-11/2017 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court struck out the plaintiff's claims because the plaintiff failed to comply with the prior order and statutory requirement to bring the claim in the company's name so he lacked locus standi, and the substantive allegations were time‑barred and barred by delay/acquiescence such that the claims were frivolous, vexatious or otherwise disclosed no triable issue; therefore the defendants' strike‑out application succeeded and the related interlocutory reliefs and proposed amendment were dismissed with costs.

PA-22NCvC-223-11/2017 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Plaintiff’s suit was struck out because he failed to comply with the earlier court order and statutory requirement to proceed in the company’s name (lacking locus standi), and the cause of action was time-barred or subject to inexcusable delay under the Limitation Act 1953, rendering the claim frivolous and an abuse of process; accordingly defendants’ interlocutory applications succeeded.

WA-25-400-12/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court held it had no power to allow the proposed amendment to the Notice of Application for leave because Order 53 of the Rules of Court 2012 restricts amendments to the statement only; the amendment was an afterthought prompted by AGC's objection and would be useless because the leave application was filed out of time, therefore the amendment application was dismissed with costs.

PA-22NCVC-89-04/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court dismissed the defendants' strike out application and allowed the Plaintiff's amendment because (1) naming office-bearers and occupiers/temple was proper and not a misjoinder, (2) the prior O 89 summary proceeding did not finally determine the issues and therefore did not bar the writ action by res judicata, and (3) factual disputes on trespass and unlawful interference meant the claim was not plainly unsustainable and was unsuitable for summary disposal under O 18 r 19.
