On the court record
An Islamic bank litigating foreclosure and orders for sale, summary judgment on financing facilities, and creditor questions in insolvency — including wage priority under section 31 of the Employment Act 1955 and scheme-of-arrangement participation.
OCBC Al-Amin Bank Berhad is an Islamic banking institution, and it appears in the corpus in the litigation of a secured lender — foreclosure and orders for sale, summary judgment on financing facilities, and its position as a creditor in insolvency and scheme-of-arrangement proceedings. It appears as intervener, plaintiff, applicant, defendant and respondent in the High Court.
One matter of wider interest concerned the priority of employees' wages over a secured creditor. The court considered the applicability of section 31 of the Employment Act 1955, which gives employees priority for wages in specified court-ordered sales or receiverships, and whether that statutory priority applies when a liquidator sells an unencumbered place of employment by private treaty. The bank also intervened in a scheme of arrangement under sections 366 and 368 of the Companies Act 2016, on an application for leave to convene a creditors' meeting and to restrain proceedings, where a revised scheme had been proposed after an earlier one was withdrawn following creditor opposition.
The bank's core enforcement litigation is more routine. It sought orders for sale, including a question whether it could accept loan-instalment payments after the borrower had been adjudged bankrupt and after issuing a notice recalling the loan, and whether the customer had shown cause to the contrary — with the familiar argument that no certificate of indebtedness had been produced. In a stay-of-execution application pending a counterclaim, the bank had commenced action against a customer and guarantor under a Term Financing-i Ijarah Muntahiah bi Al Tamlik facility, obtaining summary judgment on part of the sum with the remainder to be tried with the counterclaim. A further matter turned on whether the court was functus officio and on compliance with Order 41 rule 6 of the Rules of Court 2012. The recurring posture is that of a secured Islamic lender realising its security while contending with competing creditor and employee claims over the same assets.
