LEMON SKY ANIMATION SDN BHD v 1. ) WONG CHENG FEI 2. ) FOONG KA KING 3. ) SPIKY THINGS SDN BHD 4. ) CHIN YOON SEAN
Catchwords
The present Notice of Application, encapsulated in Enclosure 16 and filed by the First, Second and Third Defendants, does not seek to determine the substantive rights of the parties in respect of the claims made in the main action. Rather, it concerns a procedural question: whether this suit ought to be consolidated with an earlier suit commenced approximately one month prior in the High Court at Kuala Lumpur. To the lay observer, the outcome of this application may seem of limited consequence, as the respective rights and liabilities of the parties will ultimately be adjudicated regardless of whether the suits proceed separately or together. However, the question raised in Enclosure 16 bears significant implications for the effective administration of civil justice. It engages core considerations of judicial economy, the avoidance of duplicative proceedings, and the minimisation of costs and delay for both the Court and the litigants. The singular and central issue in the present application is whether this is an appropriate case for this Court to exercise its discretion to order the transfer of the present Suit No. BA-22NCvC-515-12/2024 (“Suit 515”) to the High Court at Kuala Lumpur, and for it to be consolidated with Suit No. WA-22NCC-768-11/2024 (“Suit 768”), pursuant to Order 4 of the Rules of Court 2012.
