On the court record
An Islamic bank pursuing insolvency enforcement as a creditor — bankruptcy notices and petitions governed by the strict Insolvency Act 1967 time limits, and winding-up petitions under the Companies Act 2016.
Affin Islamic Bank Berhad is an Islamic banking institution, and it appears in the corpus in insolvency-enforcement litigation — bankruptcy and winding up — pursued as a creditor to recover on judgments and unpaid debts. It appears as judgment creditor and petitioner in the High Court, in matters argued in both English and Malay.
Bankruptcy enforcement and the strict time limits that govern it are a recurring theme. In Malay-language matters a judgment debtor sought to set aside a bankruptcy notice and a bankruptcy petition, and the recurring question was whether the application to set aside the bankruptcy notice had been filed within the mandatory seven-day period under section 3(1)(i) of the Insolvency Act 1967 and rules 92 and 93 of the Insolvency Rules — a strict timetable whose non-observance is generally fatal to the debtor's challenge. In an appeal from a decision of the Senior Assistant Registrar dismissing such an application, the same seven-day question was determinative.
The bank's winding-up work follows the same creditor logic. In one matter it presented a winding-up petition under sections 465(1)(e) and 466(1)(a) of the Companies Act 2016, on the ground that the company was unable to satisfy its debt after a judgment in default had not been satisfied within the statutory period, with a question arising under rule 30(1) of the Companies (Winding Up) Rules 1972 over an affidavit in opposition filed out of time. A further matter concerned whether leave was required for the filing of a bankruptcy notice under section 5(3) of the Insolvency Act. The bank's footprint is a focused study in the enforcement side of banking — converting a judgment or an unsatisfied statutory demand into bankruptcy or winding-up proceedings, and the exacting procedural time limits that both the creditor and the debtor must observe in that process.
