BA-22NCvC-394-10/2024 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The Anton Piller Order was lawfully granted and should be maintained because the plaintiff established a strong prima facie case based on forensic and circumstantial evidence, demonstrated serious potential harm from misuse of confidential materials, and showed a real possibility of destruction or concealment of digital evidence; there was no material nondisclosure and execution complied with supervisory safeguards, therefore defendants' applications to set aside or stay the Order were dismissed.

The court found on the available evidence that there were bona fide serious issues to be tried regarding misuse of confidential information and actions likely to harm the Plaintiffs' business, the balance of convenience favoured preserving the status quo, and damages would be inadequate or difficult to quantify; accordingly an interim injunction was granted against the first defendant but dismissed against the second defendant for lack of evidence of involvement.
