The Plaintiff signed and accepted the Final Extension Letter fixing expiry at 30.6.2023; no contractual right of renewal or other admissible evidence created a triable issue; the counterclaim is independent and suitable for summary judgment; the Plaintiff is bound by tender privilege/waiver clauses and lacks locus to challenge the share sale; legitimate expectation is inapplicable to this private commercial dispute; accordingly summary judgment on the 1st Defendant's counterclaim was allowed and costs awarded, with entitlement to double rent under s28(4)(a) Civil Law Act.

Plaintiffs, as directors and shareholders, lack locus standi to sue in their personal capacity for alleged wrongs to the company because no independent personal cause of action or distinct personal loss was pleaded; the claims are plainly and obviously unsustainable and therefore struck out.

WA-25-58-01/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court held the respondent's rejection and shortlisting decisions arose from a commercial/contractual bidding process lacking the requisite public law element and were therefore non-justiciable; moreover the applicant failed to disclose material documents (bid form and RFP) and had no arguable prima facie case, so leave for judicial review was refused.

W-02(IPVC)(W)-1841-09/2018 (Mahkamah Rayuan)

The Court held that clauses 13.1 and 15.3 of the contract constituted clear representations that the plaintiffs owned the copyright/patent in the colour code and that the defendant required prior written consent before appointing any third party; even if the contractual term had a one-year duration and the contract expired, the defendant was estopped from denying those representations and therefore could not invite a third party to publish the Mushaf without plaintiffs' written consent; the High Court decision was set aside and the appeal allowed.
