PA-12A-9-06/2024 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court allowed the appeal because the Sessions Court had expressly named the insurer as a party by its order dated 3.11.2023 and therefore it possessed the requisite legal interest and locus standi to apply; the Sessions Court erred in striking out the insurer's applications for lack of locus standi and the matters (Lampiran 7 and Lampiran 8) must be remitted to the Sessions Court for substantive hearing on the merits.

The default judgment was regularly entered (valid personal service and admissions); Defendant 3 failed to demonstrate a bona fide prima facie defence or justify the nine‑month delay in seeking relief; Defendant 3 was privy to the contract and had admitted liabilities by signing documents (Promissory Note and Statutory Declaration); therefore the application to set aside the default judgment and to suspend its execution was dismissed with costs.

The default judgment dated 21.4.2022 was regularly obtained after the defendant failed to file a defence within ordered time and after the Court and the High Court refused extensions; the defendant failed to produce an affidavit of merits establishing a plausible defence or to demonstrate irregularity, therefore the application to set aside the default judgment is dismissed.
