The claim was struck out because the Plaintiffs lacked locus standi to challenge the Letter of Administration, failed to particularise allegations of fraud as required by the Rules of Court, and the action was time‑barred under s.29(1) SEDA; collectively these defects rendered the suit bound to fail and an abuse of process warranting dismissal under Order 18 r.19 and the Court's inherent jurisdiction.

The plaintiff produced contemporaneous account application, terms and conditions, invoices, contra documentation and statements of account establishing a broker-client relationship and the defendant's liability for unpaid purchase sums; the defendant failed to adduce evidence to demonstrate a triable issue (his allegations of loan, non est factum and fraud were bare and unparticularised); accordingly summary judgment was appropriate and entered for the plaintiff.

The Court held that the proper remedy for any deprivation of NCR resulting from alienation is damages under s.197 Sarawak Land Code (per TR Nyutan and Husli), that the plaintiffs had knowledge of the alienation (evidenced by MACC report in 1995) so their claim was filed outside the statutory limitation under s.202 and PAPA s.2(a), that alleged fraud pleaded only in the Reply could not revive limitation, and therefore the declaratory reliefs were unsustainable and the action was struck out; the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court order.
