BA-22NCC-31-02/2024 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court held that the requested bank statements and related documents are relevant because they are likely to reveal the contemporaneous characterisation of payments and the money trail and may lead to further inquiry; and that discovery is necessary at this stage to dispose fairly of the matter and to save costs. The application for discovery (Enclosure 15) was allowed.

Defendants failed to satisfy the statutory and judicial tests for discovery: they did not particularise documents in a Form 38 list, failed to demonstrate relevance and necessity, and failed to show the documents were in the third party's possession/custody/power; the request for broad bank records and property documents from 2016 was unreasonable and amounted to a fishing expedition. Accordingly the application (Kandungan 22) is dismissed with costs RM3,000.00.
