Abstract MPOB appealed the dismissal of its application to intervene in execution proceedings and stay a Writ of Seizure and Sale against Used Cooking Oil (UCO) it had seized in 2020. The judgment creditors sought to execute their default judgment for unpaid storage costs. MPOB applied to intervene one day before execution, claiming the UCO required preservation for criminal proceedings. The High Court dismissed the appeal, finding: (1) execution proceedings lack jurisdiction for intervention applications; (2) MPOB failed to establish legal interest, having only commercial interests; (3) procedural violations including wrong timing and forum; and (4) MPOB was estopped by contradictory conduct, having previously attempted to sell the same UCO in 2021. The Court held that post-judgment intervention undermines litigation finality and no special circumstances warranted staying execution. Keywords Execution proceedings, post-judgment intervention, stay of execution - Order 15 Rule 6, Order 17, Order 47 Rule 1 - Writ of Seizure and Sale - contradictory conduct - abuse of process
