The court held that a society registered under the Societies Act acquires legal recognition and may be sued through its registered office-bearer under s.9(c); Lim Lip Eng was confined to the question whether a political party can maintain a defamation suit and does not preclude a non-political registered society from being sued when named via its office-bearer; accordingly the defendant's preliminary application was dismissed and the action proceeds to trial.
