wa-12bncvc-29-03-2025 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 25 September 2025 • WA-12BNCvC-29-03/2025

Catchwords

The dispute concerned liability for RM1 million in architectural fees arising from the Berjaya Vietnam Financial City project. The learned Sessions Court Judge held the defendant liable. On appeal, the High Court finds that the documentary evidence, including invoicing, contract execution, payments and tax treatment, established BVFC Ltd as the true contracting party. The principle of separate legal entities applies. The appeal is allowed, the decision of the Sessions Court is set aside and the plaintiff’s claim against the defendant is dismissed.
