BA-24NCvC-694-05/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The defendant had no caveatable interest because he validly divested ownership and proprietary rights by an absolute Deed of Gift and Deed of Assignment in favour of his son prior to the sale to the plaintiff; the plaintiff was a bona fide purchaser for value without notice and the caveats were wrongfully lodged, therefore the caveats must be cancelled and removed and costs awarded to the plaintiff.

Given the intense litigation over competing wills, the disputed Deed and Power of Attorney, and evidence of risk of asset dissipation and urgency, the High Court properly exercised its discretion under s19 PAA and O.72 r.20 ROC to appoint an independent administrator pendente lite to preserve and manage the estate (including disputed assets subject to restitution claims) pending final determination; there was no misapplication of principle warranting appellate intervention.

Summary judgment was refused because the defendant raised specific, substantive triable issues—relating to the Deed of Gift, solicitor authority, outstanding title in the deceased’s name and the validity of the deposit/contract—that require viva voce evidence and credibility findings and cannot be resolved on affidavit alone.
