CASE(S) OF THE WEEK

PEMUNGUT DUTI SETEM v. LEE KOY ENG & A REVIEW APPLICATION [2022] 8 CLJ 863
FEDERAL COURT, PUTRAJAYA
ROHANA YUSUF PCA; HASNAH MOHAMMED HASHIM FCJ; MARY LIM FCJ
[CIVIL APPEAL NOS: 01(f)-9-07-2021(B) & 08(R)-2-02-2022(B)]
07 JULY 2022

An appeal under s. 39 of the Stamp Act 1949 is invoked by the person paying the stamp duty and not by the Collector of Stamp Duty. Although the notice of appeal is lodged at the High Court and categorised as an appeal, s. 39 provides the appealing party the right to require the Collector to state and sign a case, setting forth the question upon which the opinion of the High Court is required and the decision made by the Collector. The High Court is not required to hear the evidence and make findings on factual evidence heard; its sole function in a case stated is to answer the question(s) posed.

CIVIL PROCEDURE: Appeal - Case stated - Collector of Stamp Duty ('Collector') imposed ad valorem stamp duty on instruments of transfer - Collector dismissed review - Appeal to High Court - Function of High Court in case stated - Whether High Court required to hear evidence and make findings on factual evidence - Whether only to answer question(s) posed - Stamp Act 1949, ss. 36(1),38A & 39

LAND LAW: Transfer - Instruments - Instruments of transfer required to be executed in order to affect transfer of properties owned by deceased - Collector of Stamp Duty ('Collector') imposed ad valorem stamp duty on instruments of transfer - Collector dismissed review - Case stated - High Court allowed appeal and decision affirmed by Court of Appeal - Collector granted leave to appeal at Federal Court - Whether Federal Court seized with jurisdiction - Stamp Act 1949, ss. 36(1),38A & 39

JUDICIAL QUOTES

“This court accepts the defendants’ submission that a mere licensee of a TOL has no legitimate expectation for a renewal of the TOL by the land office upon the expiry of the term and that the licensee has no right to claim compensation for any structure or building erected on the TOL land upon the expiry of the TOL, as held by the various decided authorities cited by the defendants. However, none of the decided authorities has held that even if the express terms of the TOL stipulates for compensation upon its expiry, no compensation would still be recoverable. On the contrary, Goods J in Papoo v. Veeriah (supra) observed to the effect that where the express terms of the TOL provides for compensation in the event of termination and the State Government is a party thereto, the TOL holder would have the right to sue the State Government for such compensation pursuant to the express term.” – per Tee Geok Hock JC in Hartalega Sdn Bhd & Anor v. Kerajaan Negeri Selangor & Ors [2022] 7 CLJ 735

CLJ 2022 Volume 8 (Part 5)

Parliament must take the necessary measure to ensure that any amendment to the Federal Constitution ('FC') must not result in a new Constitution, especially with regard to fundamental provision; likewise, the court is bound by the enacted laws and must strive to give effect to the intention of Parliament in enacting the laws. Hence, to declare the word 'father' in s. 1(b) Part II of Second Schedule of the FC to include 'mother' would mean to rewrite the FC and the courts must forbid itself from such an interpretation of the law.

The law on stay of execution of a monetary judgment is trite, in that, the court may exercise its discretion to grant a stay of execution of the judgment debt if the applicant (the judgment debtor) could show 'special circumstances' relating to the enforcement of the judgment pending appeal. It is an accepted 'special circumstance' if the appeal were to succeed, the appeal would nevertheless be nugatory if the successful appellant would be deprived of the result of the successful appeal that would have set aside the payment of the judgment debt or so much of it.

CIVIL PROCEDURE: Stay of execution - Application for - Monetary judgment - Judgment debt - Stay of execution of payment of judgment debt unconditionally - Whether special circumstances exist - Whether there were factors justifying conditional stay of either whole or part of judgment sum pending disposal of appeal

(i) An affidavit in support of an application must verify the facts on which a claim is based; and (ii) a summary judgment application is not to be decided on whether the defence or affidavits raise a triable issue but on whether, taking into account all the facts and circumstances of the case, there are triable issues. If a defendant succeeds in raising even one triable issue, then it is not a fit and proper case for the granting of a summary judgment.
