On the court record
An environment ministry whose matters study land-recovery limits under the Government Proceedings Act 1956, standing in a mass tort claim, and enforcement of the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010.
MENTERI SUMBER ASLI DAN ALAM SEKITAR (the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment) appears in the corpus as a public-authority respondent and defendant in land-recovery, tort and wildlife matters, and its appearances span property and environmental law. In a Federal Court matter connected to a long-running land dispute, the court considered leave to appeal against decisions concerning mandamus to compel the Government to transfer land and the setting aside of an order requiring the Registrar of Titles to transfer land under section 417 of the National Land Code. In a Court of Appeal matter the court addressed whether it could compel the Government by mandamus to transfer land based on an earlier declaration, and whether section 29(1)(b) of the Government Proceedings Act 1956 bars recovery orders against the Government, read with Article 13 of the Federal Constitution on the right to property.
The Minister also appears as a defendant in a large tort action arising from a September 2020 water disruption, where the court dismissed the claim on the threshold issue of locus standi, and in a wildlife-conservation matter framed in Bahasa Malaysia in which plaintiffs sought declarations that the killing of protected lotong cengkong (dusky leaf monkeys) contravened seksyen 86(1)(f) Akta Pemuliharaan Hidupan Liar 2010 (section 86(1)(f) of the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010) and challenged a shooting operation targeting endangered animals.
For a reader, the cluster is a study of natural-resources and environmental litigation against the Government: the limits on compelling the transfer of land by mandamus in light of section 29(1)(b) of the Government Proceedings Act 1956, standing in mass tort claims, and enforcement of wildlife-conservation obligations. The Minister and authorities in their official capacity are named as they appear on the record; individual claimants are referred to by their procedural role only. The Ministry's matters span property and environmental law against the Government, and a common thread is the limit the Government Proceedings Act 1956 places on coercive relief: mandamus and recovery orders against the State are constrained even where a declaration has been made, while standing requirements and the enforcement of conservation statutes shape the environmental claims. The result is a careful policing of what the courts may compel the Government to do.
