On the court record
The reported matters span pleadings practice, commercial-contract and insolvency-injunction work, grounded in High Court and Court of Appeal judgments.
Mohaji bin Selamat's reported matters cover civil procedure, commercial contract and insolvency-related injunctions, argued in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. On the procedural side, he appeared for the plaintiff in a High Court application to strike out prolix pleadings, where the complaint was that the statement of claim made collective allegations against multiple defendants and failed to plead the material facts, so that it did not disclose a reasonable cause of action, a matter testing the discipline the courts require of pleadings.
Commercial contract features in related Court of Appeal appeals concerning a parking-rental arrangement, where the claims were for an excess payment of rental and for loss of profit from parking bays operated without a licence, and the disputed questions included the correct method of calculation and a duty to obtain a certificate. Appearing for the respondent, the Court of Appeal found no significant error in the trial judge's interpretation of the law or treatment of the facts and dismissed the operator's appeal.
Insolvency and injunctions complete the profile. In a High Court matter he acted for a defendant in relation to a Fortuna injunction sought to restrain a winding up founded on a statutory notice under section 466 of the Companies Act 2016, where the questions included whether the statutory notice had been validly issued by a company that had itself been wound up and whether sanction from the Director General of Insolvency was required. A thread across these decisions is the control of process, from the sufficiency of pleadings, to the correct measure of a contractual claim, to the conditions under which a company may or may not be threatened with winding up, argued at first instance in the High Court and on appeal before the Court of Appeal. The reported work therefore sits at the meeting point of civil procedure, commercial contract and insolvency, with a consistent emphasis on whether a claim or a threatened remedy is properly constituted before it is allowed to proceed.
