On the court record
Places a company both as a subject of the fraudulent-trading jurisdiction under section 540 and as one of many claimants in a collective condominium grievance.
Jalex Sdn Bhd appears in the reported judgments as a company involved in both corporate-insolvency appeals and a substantial condominium-development dispute, with matters in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). Its appearances span a discrete question on fraudulent trading and a large multi-party claim by parcel owners.
Two connected Court of Appeal decisions raised the same questions of principle on fraudulent trading. The court considered whether it should exercise its discretion to adjourn the hearing of an appeal where counsel was ill, a fact confirmed by a medical certificate, and, more substantively, how section 540(1) of the Companies Act 2016 operates where the business of a company has been carried on with intent to defraud creditors or for a fraudulent purpose — whether that provision imposes liability for one company's debts on another company, and whether it is confined to individuals. Those are important questions on the reach of the fraudulent-trading remedy across corporate structures.
In a separate High Court matter the company was named among a very large number of plaintiffs — parcel owners of a condominium — suing the developer, landowner and directors for alleged mismanagement said to have caused a diminution in unit values and a loss of rental income. The court held that while the plaintiffs had locus standi to pursue personal claims, there was no contractual nexus or basis for lifting the corporate veil against the individual defendants; it found the valuation evidence methodologically flawed, the alleged losses to amount to mere paper losses, and noted that only one of the plaintiffs had testified, dismissing the claim with costs and applying principles of privity, evidential burden and compensable damage. Together the decisions place the company both as a subject of the fraudulent-trading jurisdiction and as one of many claimants in a collective property grievance.
