On the judicial record
A record of apex-level reasoning on the law of deposits and forfeiture, contract under the Contracts Act 1950, the indefeasibility of a charge under the National Land Code, and bankruptcy, settling questions that bind the courts below.
Seri Zulkefli bin Ahmad Makinudin sits in the Federal Court, the apex court of Malaysia, and this collection gathers final appellate decisions across commercial, land and banking law. A significant commercial strand concerns the law of deposits and forfeiture on the termination of a contract, and the principles governing damages and the recovery of a paid deposit — questions of general importance to every commercial bargain. Contract appeals engage section 29 of the Contracts Act 1950, property under construction and progressive payment, and the termination of a sale-and-purchase agreement for an unpaid sum. Land law features through the sale and purchase of estate land and the conditional-contract requirements of section 214A of the National Land Code, and through the validity of a bank's registered charge where the chargor had obtained title by fraud and the question whether the charge was defeasible. Banking and insolvency appear through bankruptcy appeals on setting aside a bankruptcy notice and whether a judgment creditor may commence bankruptcy action after a judgment-debt summons order was complied with. Insurance is addressed where a policy was applied for and issued after the accident and whether it was void and unenforceable. Intellectual property features through an opposition to the registration of a trade mark and the appeal from the Registrar. Because the Federal Court sits in panels and its rulings bind the courts below, these decisions settle the correct construction of a statute or a common-law principle rather than merely resolving the dispute at hand. Private individuals are referred to by role; corporate, banking and statutory parties are named. A recurring concern is the certainty of commercial and property transactions — when a deposit may be forfeited, when a charge is indefeasible, when a bankruptcy action may proceed. The collection is a valuable record of apex-level reasoning on the law of contract, land and banking.
