BA-12BNCvC-43-10/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: evidence (visual inspection, NCR and Food Act considerations) supported that all packages were rendered unfit for sale; the appropriate measure of loss is the invoiced/market value at destination including SST paid; the defendants failed to prove that further reasonable mitigation or salvage was possible, therefore the Sessions Court's award of special damages and ancillary orders was not wrong in principle or wholly unreasonable.

Plaintiffs failed to prove the quantum of special and general damages because (a) only three plaintiffs testified which cannot represent the remainder for assessment, (b) relied compensation schedule without corroborating income/tax/bank evidence, and (c) plaintiffs had accepted state administrative payments on full and final terms thereby estopping further recovery; consequently only nominal damages were appropriate and exemplary damages were not available on the facts.

BA-11BNCVC-30-09/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The Plaintiff failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that RM24,587.99 represented actual repair costs caused solely by the accident; the Magistrate erred in relying entirely on uncorroborated evidence from the Plaintiff's employee and on a self-prepared quotation; accordingly the award of RM24,587.99 was set aside and the appeal allowed on that issue.

The High Court upheld the Sessions Court finding that the meter had been tampered with based on corroborating physical evidence (broken/missing seals and photographs), indicative clamp meter readings showing current while the meter registered zero for the red phase, and discovery of an open link at S1/S2; the separate accuracy tests post‑rectification validated the replacement meter and the pro‑rated back‑billing computation was reasonable, so the appeal failed.
