Unijaya Teknologi Sdn Bhd v Syarikat Elektrik RBA Sdn Bhd & Ors (High Court) [2013] 9 MLJ 452
Justin was the counsel for Unijaya (Plaintiff) and assisted by Alvin. This is a building contract case where judgment was entered against all Defendants which include the Directors of Syarikat Elektrik RBA Sdn Bhd for a debt due to the Plaintiff. The Defendants appealed against the Senior Assistant Registrar (SAR)’s decision to disallow the “4th Defendant’s” (which is not a party to the suit) application for an extension of time (encl 31) for the 2nd & 3rd defendants to file an application to set aside the judgment in default entered against them. The High Court dismissed the appeal on the ground that the SAR had a discretion to allow or disallow the defendant’s oral application to withdraw encl 31 which is “defective”.
