[CIVIL APPEAL NOS: B-01(NCVC)(A)-40-01-2022 & B-01(NCVC)(A)-57-01-2022]
13 JANUARY 2023
A judicial determination by the Syariah Court that a person is still a Muslim, must necessarily mean he/she is a Muslim and not one who was never a Muslim; (ii) the law, as enshrined in the Federal Constitution, does not countenance any review or appeal, let alone re-litigation or unravelling by the civil court, of a decision which is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Syariah Court.
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: Jurisdiction - Courts - Person not professing religion of Islam - Conversion to Islam at age of five by mother without consent of father but continued to practice Hindu religion - Syariah Courts declared that person still Muslim - Whether case of apostasy/renunciation - Whether ab initio case - Whether matter falling within jurisdiction of civil court/Syariah Court - Whether jurisdiction of civil court ousted - Whether person fit statutory definition of Muslim - Federal Constitution, art. 121(1A)
ISLAMIC LAW: Conversion - Conversion to Islam - Validity - Person not professing religion of Islam - Conversion to Islam at age of five by mother without consent of father but continued to practice Hindu religion - Whether conversion valid - Whether there was proof of affirmative profession of religion of Islam - Administration of Islamic Law (Federal Territories) Act 1993, s. 2
STATUTORY INTERPRETATION: 'Muslim' - Administration of Islamic Law (Federal Territories) Act 1993, s. 2 - Whether definition concerns one's faith or identity under law - Whether person practices religion or not consideration in determining 'person professing the religion of Islam'
JUDICIAL QUOTES
“The words in s. 400 of the CPC "which that conviction or acquittal was had to be a copy of the sentence or order" must necessarily mean orders from the competent court or warrant of committment or acquittal. Since s. 400 of the CPC is a mode of proving past convictions records, it does not exclude the officer having the custody of the records of the court to produce a copy of the sentence or order. In the presence context it must necessarily refers to SP2, the Registrar who has the custody of the copy of sentence or order.
In our view, the words “officer” under s. 400 of CPC must be read in its original context of “officer having the custody of the records of the court”. Such words cannot be taken out and read separately or substituted with the words “Registrar of Criminals”. If the intention of Parliament is to require the Register of Criminals as the appropriate officer, the words “officer” would have been defined to refer to the Registrar of Criminals. The words "officer having the custody of the records of the court" must be given a literal interpretation. It is very plain and clear devoid of any uncertainty or suffer from any vagueness.” - Per Kamaludin Md Said JCA in PP v. Azfaiz Jamil [2022] 9 CLJ 57

GREAT EASTERN LIFE ASSURANCE (MALAYSIA) BERHAD v. KETUA PENGARAH HASIL DALAM NEGERI
The availability of domestic remedies in a judicial review application can be raised at the leave stage. Section 99 of the Income Tax Act 1967 is clear that any person aggrieved by the decision of the Director General of Inland Revenue on the assessment of tax must first exhaust the internal remedy by filing an appeal to the Special Commissioners of Income Tax ('SCIT') before commencing with the judicial review application. Hence, SCIT being the judge of facts, is the proper forum to hear the appeal on notice of assessment.
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW: Judicial review - Application for leave - Abuse of process - Availability of domestic remedy - Certiorari to quash notices of assessment - Applicant filed appeal to Special Commissioners of Income Tax ('SCIT') - Whether availability of domestic remedy in judicial review application could be raised at leave stage - Whether applicant could proceed with judicial review application when it failed to exhaust remedy of appeal under s. 99 of Income Tax Act 1967 - Whether issues raised go into merits of assessment which should be determined by SCIT - Whether there were exceptional circumstances for court to exercise discretion to allow leave to commence judicial review

PEMBINAAN JUTA MASTER SDN BHD v. PLENTIFUL GOLD-CLASS BHD
The defendant's conduct, who had made various part payments towards the plaintiff's claims, raises the inference that the plaintiff had carried out such works and completed them satisfactorily, especially when there was no protest from the defendant at the material time. The previous payments made by the defendant support the plaintiff's claim that the contract existed and the works duly done and completed. The defendant is estopped from claiming that the payment to the plaintiff is subjected to certification when the defendant had previously made payments to the plaintiff's claim without any certification.
CONTRACT: Breach - Claim for services rendered - Claim by general contractor of estate - Dispute as to appointment and contract - Service rendered through quotation and variation order - Invoices were received without objection - Whether defendant appointed plaintiff as general contractor to carry out works at estate - Whether contracts entered pursuant to quotations - Whether all works were completed and carried out satisfactorily as per quotations - Whether plaintiff works subjected to any form of certification prior to payment - Whether defendant had instructed plaintiff to carry out works - Whether plaintiff had carried out additional works as instructed by defendant in accordance with variation order
LIMITATION: Contract - Accrual of cause of action - Limitation was not pleaded in defence - Fresh acknowledgement of debt - Whether defendant was estopped from raising defence of limitation at submission stage - Whether acknowledgement of debt constitutes a fresh accrual of action - Whether action was time barred

GABUNGAN SUMBER TENAGA SDN BHD v. ALLIANZ GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
1. A sum insured in a fire insurance policy is the insurer's maximum liability. It follows that the insured cannot claim more than the sum insured even though the market value of loss of the property insured at the time of its destruction is higher.
2. An insurer's promise to indemnify the insured against loss or damage caused by an insured risk is that the insured will not suffer the specified loss or damage. The insured is contractually entitled to be indemnified and held harmless against suffering a loss in the first place. Non-payment by the insurer is a breach of the insurer's obligation to indemnify.
INSURANCE: Fire insurance - Claim on policy - Measure of indemnity under policy - Disagreement on appropriate basis of assessment - Destruction of stocks - Whether plaintiff had proven its loss being actual value of property insured at time of destruction - Whether policy excludes market value application - Whether insured could claim more than sum insured - Whether insured must show marketability of stocks - Whether measure of indemnity was a matter of fact and degree to be decided on circumstances of each case - Whether insurer had breached its obligation to indemnify

The concept of indefeasibility has to be read harmoniously with the principles of native customary rights ('NCR') status over the subject land, in that, whilst there is nothing preventing a registered lessee from dealing with the land in question, they cannot sue for trespass as the natives had been there with lawful justification under the NCR over the subject land long before titles were issued to the registered lessee. Until and unless the NCR over the land had been extinguished with payment of compensation as damages, the NCR exists and continues to co-exist side-by-side the interests of the registered lessee.

An appellate court may disturb a lower court's decision only where the lower court judge had come to a conclusion which no reasonable judge could have reached, which is only possible when there is a consistent application of the 'plainly wrong' principle underlying the appellate intervention. When there has been a holistic approach, considerable appellate restraint should be exercised when reviewing a first instance judgment on appeal.

One way to ascertain if an appeal or judicial review is to be utilised is to consider who referred the representation to the Industrial Court for an award. If the representation is referred to the Industrial Court by the Director General, then an appeal ought to be filed pursuant to s. 33C of the Industrial Relations Act 1967 as amended. However, if the representation is referred to the Industrial Court by the Minister, as in this case, then quite clearly, such reference is made pursuant to s. 20(3) of the Industrial Relations Act 1967 as unamended, and judicial review would be the proper application to be made.

The issuance of a detention order must satisfy the pre-conditions of art. 149 of the Federal Constitution and the preamble to the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985, that the issuance of the detention order is necessary in the interest of public order, having regard to prejudicial action having been taken by a substantial body of persons. When the evidence shows that the accused was not acting on his own but was hired for a reward to execute the carrying out of the plan already chartered by the members of the alliance or syndicate, this satisfied the requirements of 'against public order' and 'substantial body of persons'.

SETTING THE LIMITS ON THE USE OF PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS IN MALAYSIA
by
Hajah Makiah Tussaripah Jamil[i]
Haniwarda Yaakob[ii]
ABSTRACT
Genetic diseases or disorders are caused by several factors. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) offers hope for parents to avoid the risk of conceiving a child with genetic diseases by screening out affected embryos and implanting healthy ones into the uterus. Although PGD is now available in Malaysia, no law currently regulates the technology, particularly on the types or categories of diseases that can be screened using PGD. The Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) issued a Guideline on Assisted Reproduction in 2006, which states that PGD should only be allowed to screen for 'severe and life-threatening genetic diseases.' Nonetheless, the scope of what is considered 'severe and life-threatening' diseases is left to interpretation. This lacuna raises concerns about the limits that should be put in place on the use of PGD to select against embryos with genetic diseases and this forms the main crux of this paper. To achieve this objective, this paper begins by outlining the categories of genetic diseases and how PGD can be used to avoid producing a child with these genetic diseases. This is followed by an analysis of the criteria adopted in the United Kingdom in considering genetic diseases that warrants the use of PGD. This article then concludes that a clear boundary needs to be drawn on the diseases that PGD should be allowed to use in Malaysia by using the legal position in the United Kingdom as a benchmark.

THE SPIRIT AND OBJECTIVES OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1987, VIS-À-VIS THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, WERE SUPERBLY EXEMPLIFIED BY THE FEDERAL COURT ON 5 AUGUST 2022 IN EIGHT (8) APPEALS
by
Kandiah Chelliah*
The apex court jointly heard the questions of law in eight (8) appeals, all involving road traffic accident claims on 11 and 13 January 2022 and handed its decisions on 5 August 2022.
It is reported as AmGeneral Insurance Bhd v. Sa' Amran Atan & Ors and Other Appeals [2022] 8 CLJ 175.
In the landmark and unprecedented decisions, all eight (8) third-party claimants succeeded in their claim for loss and damages with an extraordinary award of costs in the sum of RM150,000 to each claimant. The panel of three Federal Court judges took around six months for their deliberations and in-depth analysis of the earlier High Court and Court of Appeal decisions, and as a result, several significant and exceptional issues troubling the High Courts, Courts of Appeal and legal practitioners were laid to rest impeccably, the relevant laws well-elucidated and the statutory provisions of the Road Transport Act 1987 ('RTA 1987') were methodically examined.
Additionally, the relevant decisions of other Commonwealth jurisdictions, especially the United Kingdom, India, Australia and Canada, were exhaustively referred to.
