wa-24ncvc-1149-03-2025 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 24 July 2025 • WA-24NCvC-1149-03/2025

Catchwords

This is an application by the plaintiff to remove a private caveat lodged by the defendant over a piece of land in Johor Bahru. The plaintiff argued that the defendant had no caveatable interest as the claim was purely monetary. The court held that the undertakings in the agreement and the plaintiff’s Constitution created equitable obligations amounting to a constructive trust in favour of DCS Trading. Serious questions merited trial and the balance of convenience favoured maintaining the caveat. The plaintiff’s application was dismissed.
