The Prosecution filed appeals against the discharge and acquittal, challenging the Sessions Court’s finding that no prima facie case existed under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009 and Section 165 of the Penal Code against R1 and R2 respectively. Upon evaluating all record of proceedings, notes of evidence and the submissions of all parties, it was held that the Prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against either Respondent. The identification evidence is unreliable, the alleged receipt of monies is not shown to be corruptly intended or linked to any official act and the evidential gaps and inconsistencies are substantial. Accordingly, the appeal by the Prosecution is dismissed and the Sessions Court’s order discharging and acquitting both Respondents is affirmed.

The Court of Appeal held that the loan agreement between Ace Credit (M) Sdn Bhd and Pioneer Conglomerate Sdn Bhd was void under section 10P of the Moneylenders Act 1951 for non-compliance with the prescribed form and excessive interest. All related security documents and caveats were likewise invalid. However, applying section 66 of the Contracts Act 1950, the Court ordered restitution of monies advanced, as the transaction was void but not substantively illegal. The High Court’s decision was affirmed with slight variation and no order as to costs.

This case concerns three Originating Summons arising from an adjudication decision under the CIPAA 2012. The legal issues were whether the adjudication decision should be set aside under s 15(b) and (d) for denial of natural justice or excess of jurisdiction; whether enforcement should be granted under s 28; and whether a stay should be ordered under s 16(1)(b) pending arbitration. The High Court dismissed the setting-aside and stay applications, holding the adjudicator acted within jurisdiction and observed natural justice, and allowed enforcement of the adjudication decision.
