On the court record
Illustrates how the courts treat contracts made in proximity to a developer's winding-up, applying the prohibition on post-petition dispositions, the limitation regime and strict fraud-pleading rules.
MZ Development Sdn Bhd appears in the reported judgments as a development company named as a defendant in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), in connected matters concerning sale and purchase agreements executed in the shadow of a developer's winding-up. The decisions engage the validity of contracts made after the presentation of a winding-up petition and the limitation and pleading rules that govern the resulting claims.
In connected decisions the company was a defendant to purchaser claims determined on questions of law under Order 14A of the Rules of Court 2012. The recurring issues were that the developer had been wound up after the execution of the sale and purchase agreement, that the agreement was said to be unlawful as contravening sections 223 and 293 of the Companies Act 1965, that it was said to be frustrated under section 57(2) of the Contracts Act 1950, and that limitation was in issue. Those questions go to the effect on a purchaser's contract of the insolvency of the developer, and whether a transaction entered into around the time of winding-up remains valid and enforceable.
A further decision engaged the company in a striking-out application under Order 18 rule 19 of the Rules of Court 2012, where the court considered whether the claim was plainly unsustainable in law. The issues included whether sale and purchase agreements executed after the presentation of a winding-up petition were void ab initio for want of a validation order, whether the action founded on contract was time-barred under the six-year limitation period in section 6(1)(a) of the Limitation Act 1953, whether an allegation of fraud was sufficient to invoke section 29, and whether fraud had been pleaded with the required strictness and particulars. Across the matters, the company illustrates how the courts treat contracts made in proximity to a developer's winding-up, applying the company-law prohibition on post-petition dispositions, the limitation regime and the strict pleading rules for fraud to determine whether a purchaser's claim can proceed.
