The application to cross-examine was dismissed because it was filed with unjustified delay and the Plaintiff had adduced sufficient contemporaneous documentary evidence on key issues such that cross-examination was unnecessary; the Defendant failed to show that cross-examination was required to resolve material disputes and failed to discharge the burden of proof for his allegations, therefore the court exercised its discretion to refuse leave.

The court concluded the central legal question is whether PM Capital is a subsidiary of MUI Berhad and PM Holdings; documentary evidence established it is not (no control or majority shareholding), rendering the disputed factual allegations immaterial to the real issue and making cross-examination unnecessary; therefore the application to cross-examine the 11th defendant was dismissed.

Leave to cross-examine the deponent was granted because there was a demonstrable conflict in affidavit evidence on a relevant factual issue which could not be resolved by documents and the application was bona fide; after hearing the deponent the court found the deponent credible, concluded the Direction was validly served and the Minister discharged the burden to show procedural compliance under DDSPMA, and therefore the substantive judicial review application was dismissed.
