MUTIARA ETNIK SDN BHD v KYTARI SDN BHD

wa-24c-15-01-2026 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 23 April 2026 • WA-24C-15-01/2026

Catchwords

This case concerns two Originating Summons arising from a CIPAA 2012 adjudication decision in a construction dispute involving an EPC contract for a recycling plant project. The key issues were whether the adjudication decision should be set aside under section 15(b) for alleged denial of natural justice, whether the adjudicator had committed reviewable errors, and whether enforcement should be stayed under section 16 pending parallel civil proceedings and alleged financial prejudice. The Court held that the challenge merely raised merits-based complaints, found no breach of natural justice or exceptional circumstances, and accordingly dismissed the setting aside and stay applications while allowing enforcement of the adjudication decision.
