The adjudicator, in completely disregarding the express contractual term that payment for works shall only become due to the claimant upon certification of approval by the project director, and by incorporating a new contractual term into the subcontract to which the parties had not mutually agreed, had shown a lack of sufficient judicial appreciation of the matters and facts before him and had acted in excess of jurisdiction. A payment dispute must be determined strictly within the confines of the subcontract wherein its terms and conditions did not call for the adjudicator to make a determination on a purported clause which is non-existent.

There is nothing in the Criminal Procedure Code ('CPC') which allows a decision or ruling of a High Court Judge ('HCJ') to be reviewed or overruled by another HCJ of co-ordinate jurisdiction. The statutes that clothe the High Court with the power to review is provided under s. 323(1) of the CPC and the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 ('CJA'). However, the revisionary power of the High Court conferred by these provisions only relate to revisionary jurisdiction over the subordinate courts. Nowhere does it mention the power to review the High Court's own decision.

The plaintiff applying for a Mareva injunction must endeavour to satisfy the requirements under O. 29 r. 1(2) and (2A) of the Rules of Court 2012 in order to succeed in the application; mere regurgitation of the words in the Orders, without adequately particularising the facts and the reasons, would not suffice. Likewise, in order for the ex parte Mareva injunction to be made inter partes, it must be established that the dissipation of assets are pre-emptive acts intended to prejudice any judgment in favour of the plaintiff.

(i) The purpose of pleadings is to give fair notice of the case to be made and to limit and define the issues. Its object is to prevent the issues from being enlarged, which would prevent either party from knowing when the cause came on for trial and what the real point to be discussed and decided was; and (ii) It is within the jurisdiction of the legislature and the executive to declare the legitimacy of the use of drugs on humans. It is not within the powers of the court to declare so as the court does not determine policy issues in the field of scientific and technical expertise.

An award for false imprisonment should lie somewhere in between an award for death in custody, on the one hand, and an award for defamation, on the other hand. The rationale being that loss of liberty for a period of time is less severe than loss of life whilst in detention but more serious than injury to reputation in being defamed. Damages are at large and the range of damages awarded for death in custody and defamation cases is rather varied as each case must be determined based on its own facts and circumstances.

In a case where the board member of an asset management company had no knowledge that funds were being embezzled, and there is no express provision in the Licensing Handbook or in the Fund Manager Guidelines that required him to report any breach of investment terms or contravention of relevant statutory obligations to Securities Commission, to order restitution against him would neither be fair nor just, and would not constitute proper exercise of judicial discretion under s. 360 of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007.

    FAQ ON RECONSTRUCTION AND AMALGAMATION OF COMPANIES IN MALAYSIA*

    by
    Azrul Haziq Khirullah[i]
    Fatihah Azhar[ii]

    WHAT IS A RECONSTRUCTION?

    A reconstruction is a scheme formulated by companies that are held by substantially the same shareholders wherein the former company's business and undertakings will be transferred and carried out by the new company. As stated by Buckley J in the case of In Re South African Supply And Cold Storage Company; Wild v. Same Company,[1] the scheme of reconstruction means that "the same business shall be carried on and substantially the same persons shall carry it on." Hence, practically a reconstruction is carried out within an internal link of an organization instead of an external party.

    1. WHAT IS AN AMALGAMATION?

    An amalgamation takes place when two or more undertakings amalgamate or blend and form a new company wherein the shareholders of each company substantially become the shareholders in the new company. It also may take place when one or more undertakings are transferred to an existing company.[2] Further, amalgamation can be in the form of transfer of business or transfer of shares.[3]

    MANAGING INTERLOCUTORY APPLICATIONS IN CIVIL LITIGATION:
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE


    by
    Kho Feng Ming*

    ABSTRACT

    The concept of interlocutory applications has long been established in the jurisprudence of civil procedure. Although its history of origin is rather chequered, it still managed to find its way and continue to survive in the modern days of civil litigation. Be that as it may, the interlocutory application is said to be one of the greatest inventions of all time. It is capable of providing relief(s) to the litigants even though the merits of the dispute are yet to be determined. However, one of the setbacks of interlocutory applications is that it halts the progress of the main case. The filing of interlocutory applications often means the exercise of determining the main issue in dispute being held in abeyance, which then results in the delay of proceeding. Hence, imposing reasonable control on the liberties of litigants on this aspect becomes essential. Using content analysis as the methodology of research, this paper intends to discuss the legal position of interlocutory applications vis-á-vis civil litigation in Malaysia. The paper further undertakes a comparative study with the legal framework in Singapore on this area and thereafter analyses the law in these two jurisdictions.
