WA-24NCC-49-01/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court correctly held that the refusal of specific performance and the award of damages in the SPA Action effectively terminated the 2014 SPA; consequently the Plaintiff ceased to have enforceable rights under that SPA and lacked locus to seek injunctions restraining defendants or the Trustee; the 1st Defendant lawfully transferred its notes under the 2019 SPA and the Vesting Order remains valid; Plaintiff is judicially estopped from contrary contentions given its prior litigation posture.

P-01(NCVC)(A)-603-10/2018 (Mahkamah Rayuan)

Section 17 of the Societies Act 1966 is a specific mandatory code for cancelled societies and prevails over the Hindu Endowments Ordinance; therefore the properties of the deregistered society vest in the Director General of Insolvency and the High Court's vesting of those properties in the Penang Hindu Endowment Board was incorrect and set aside (except as expressly preserved).
