The counterclaim was struck out because the court had already examined and rejected the same factual and legal allegations in prior summary judgment proceedings, the counterclaim discloses no reasonable cause of action since illegality would bar recovery under the 'loss lies where it falls' doctrine, and the pleadings against additional defendants lacked necessary particularity making the counterclaim scandalous, frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process.

PA-22NCvC-156-09/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

On the pleadings and affidavits before the court it was not plain and obvious that the statement of claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action against the 2nd and 3rd defendants nor that the claim was scandalous, frivolous, vexatious, prejudicial or an abuse of process; therefore the striking out application was dismissed so the issues can be determined at trial.

The court refused to strike out the plaintiff's claim because material facts are disputed and require oral evidence and documentary proof at a full trial; striking out is a drastic remedy reserved for plain and obvious cases and here the plaintiff has a reasonable cause of action (including claim for specific performance and declarations) that cannot be resolved on affidavit alone.

The striking out application was dismissed because the plaintiff's s540(1) statutory claim is a distinct cause of action based on different facts and issues from the earlier contractual suit, is not plainly unsustainable on the pleadings, and therefore requires a trial; res judicata and issue estoppel did not operate to bar the claim at this interlocutory stage.

The court found the defendant raised no bona fide defence supported by contemporaneous documents; alleged collateral representations were barred by the contract's entire agreement clause and contradicted by audited accounts and communications; therefore summary judgment was appropriate and the counterclaim was a plain and obvious abuse to be struck out.

The appeal was dismissed as incompetent because the appellant failed to show the value in dispute exceeded RM10,000 and did not formulate a question of law; therefore section 28 CJA barred the appeal and the High Court would not interfere with the Sessions Court's discretionary award of costs absent a demonstrated error of law.
