WA-B52NCC-2081-08/2025 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

Plaintiff satisfied the Order 14A requirements and produced contemporaneous documentary evidence of delivery and acceptance; the defendant failed to raise any bona fide triable issue because its denials were uncorroborated, inconsistent and contradicted by documents and conduct (use of goods); therefore summary judgment was proper and the plaintiff's application was allowed.

JA-21NCvC-2-01/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Service was not proved to comply with Order 10 and no substituted service was sought despite plaintiff's knowledge of the defendant's active address; absence of AR card or proof of receipt rendered the default judgment of 23.2.2022 irregular and therefore it must be set aside as of right; alternatively the defendant demonstrated triable issues; delay by defendant is immaterial given irregular service.

BA-12A-19-04/2025 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court allowed the appeal and set aside the Sessions Court's summary judgment awarding special/liquidated damages because the claim involved triable factual issues that required proof and ventilation at trial; therefore awarding special damages by summary procedure under Order 14 was inappropriate despite rejecting other procedural objections.

CA-B52NCvC-19-10/2024 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

Plaintiff satisfied the requirements for summary judgment under Order 14 by affidavit evidence and supporting documents establishing a prima facie debt of RM340,000; defendants failed to raise any bona fide triable issue (their allegations of sham, illegality under the Money Lenders Act, duress and third‑party blame were unsupported and amounted to empty denials or afterthoughts); therefore summary judgment was properly recorded against defendants and the plaintiff's application was allowed.

WA-A72NCvC-1486-04/2024 (Mahkamah Majistret)

The application for summary judgment was dismissed because genuine triable issues exist as to the purpose and beneficiaries of the payments and there is an absence of a clear agreement; the defendant's third-party defence, though raised at affidavit stage, poses factual disputes requiring a full trial.
