W-01(A)-564-09/2021 (Mahkamah Rayuan)

The Court held that taking the internal sale price between the producer and its related wholly-owned subsidiary as the export price was an error of law and inconsistent with s17(2) of the Act and WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement Article 2.3; the export price must be constructed from the price at first resale to an independent buyer with due allowance for costs (including duty drawback) as required by s17(3)/s18 and Article 2.4; the IA also breached disclosure obligations by failing to provide essential transaction-level data and calculation details required by WTO Articles 6 and 12 and s38(4)/s18(8…

The Court held the preliminary and final determinations were tainted by Wednesbury unreasonableness because the MITI Minister signed notices recommending affirmative determinations before the IA had completed and issued the corresponding investigation reports; this showed a failure to take into account the relevant IA reports and amounted to pre-judgment, rendering the determinations amenable to judicial review and allowing the application to quash those determinations.

The judicial review is allowed because the respondents admitted the IA miscalculated by deducting ocean freight from FOB, and the export price used was not the price actually paid by the Malaysian importer as required by section 17 CADD 1993 and WTO rules; that error rendered the recommendation and the Minister of Finance's decision ultra vires and irrational, and the 3rd respondent's signing before the final report constituted pre-judgment.
