CA-A72NCvC-225-06/2024 (Mahkamah Majistret)

The default judgment was regularly obtained by proper substituted service; the defendant's application was filed outside the mandatory 30‑day period under O.42 r.13 without adequate explanation; and the defendant failed to demonstrate a prima facie meritorious defence (the asserted defence was unsupported and amounted to a delay tactic). Accordingly the application to set aside was dismissed.

The Court dismissed the appeal: the EPF Act supplies the relevant rate mechanism and imposes late payment charges (no uncertainty), the Summary Judgment of 14.05.2009 remained valid and enforceable, the Appellant failed to timely apply to set aside or vary the SJ and made part payments admitting the debt, no credible evidence of an outside compromise was produced to oust the Respondent's rights; consequently the Bankruptcy Notice was valid and the High Court rightly allowed the Respondent's appeal against the SAR.

The High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: the writ and statement of claim were properly served and the default judgment was regular; the appellant failed to demonstrate any triable defence under the Income Tax Act and binding authorities (including the 'pay first, talk later' principle); additionally the unexplained six-year delay in applying to set aside justified refusal; accordingly the application to set aside was dismissed and the appeal dismissed with costs.

Petition dismissed: the alleged Trust Deeds and purported contraventions did not bear sufficient nexus to the company’s stated business or incorporation to justify winding up; Petronas had knowledge of the arrangements and made no adverse finding; court must exercise restraint in winding up and found the petition to be used in part to forestall pending civil suits, therefore relief under s465(h) and (k) is refused.

The application to issue a third party notice was allowed because the notice and supporting affidavit met the substance and form required by Order 16 r.2 Kaedah-Kaedah Mahkamah 2012; the technical omission of citing the specific rule did not render the application irregular under the overriding objective principles (Order 1A and Order 2), and the defendant demonstrated a prima facie claim of negligence against the proposed third parties (parents) sufficient to justify leave; alleged delay was not fatal because third party claims are separate and may be tried with or separately from the main a…
