JA-24FC-1045-12/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court refused the stay because the Defendant failed to demonstrate special circumstances. The related proceedings and appeal are in personam and do not affect the Plaintiff’s statutory ad rem rights as registered chargee; merits of the appeal are irrelevant to a stay application; therefore the foreclosure proceedings may continue and no stay is justified.

Court

Malaysian court

The charge did not contravene s.67 because the loan was granted in 1997 to redeem a prior BMBB loan and for working capital/preliminary expenses while the alleged share purchase occurred in 1992; alternatively, even if s.67 applied, s.67(6) permits recovery and the bank may enforce the charge, so the strike-out was properly upheld; appeal dismissed with costs.

• Financial assistance
• Charge over land
• Companies act s.67
• Enforcement of securities
• Foreclosure
• Statutory interpretation
