The High Court applied binding Federal Court authority in Lim Lip Eng and s9(c) Societies Act 1966 and held that a society which lacks separate legal personality cannot maintain an action for defamation in its own name because it does not possess the legally protectable reputation required; accordingly the Plaintiff (a society sued via its public officer) lacked locus standi and the claim was dismissed.
