The Attorney General is not immune as a matter of law from civil actions for abuse of prosecutorial power, but on the pleaded facts the appellant's claims fail: the misfeasance plea was premature while prosecutions were pending and lacked particulars of bad faith; the malicious process plea was inapposite to criminal prosecutions capable of terminating in the appellant's favour; negligence and article 8 claims were unsustainable or frivolous. For these reasons the High Court's striking out of the statement of claim is upheld and the appeal is dismissed.

Section 34(1) of CIPAA 2012, by its clear words "No action or suit shall be instituted or maintained in any court against an adjudicator or the KLRCA or its officers for any act or omission done in good faith in the performance of his or its functions under this Act," bars proceedings including judicial review against the appellant where acts or omissions are done in good faith; the provision is presumptively constitutional and its plain language must be given effect, subject to the good faith qualification set out in the section.

BA-22NCvC-53-02/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The claim against the 2nd and 3rd Defendants was struck out because the pleaded loss (RM3,911,238.00) is loss allegedly arising from the expired contractual agreement and lacks the necessary nexus to the tort of misrepresentation pleaded against those defendants; therefore the statement of claim discloses no reasonable cause of action against them.
