  4. Public Prosecutor v Annamaly a/l Narayanan
    25 AUGUST 1988 - HIGH COURT (SEREMBAN)
    CRIMINAL APPEAL NO 51-33 OF 1987

    Land law - Housing developers - Unlicensed housing development affected by collapse of housing market - Demand by purchasers for refund of purchase moneys - Directive issued by Deputy Minister of Housing directing refunds to be made - Failure of housing developer to comply with directive - Whether directive was ultra vires the Housing Developers (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 - Housing Developers (Control and Licensing) Act 1966, ss 11 & 12
    The respondent was the managing director of a housing developer company which was engaged in a housing development in Negeri Sembilan without having a licence to do so. The housing market collapsed and the respondent's company could not proceed with the housing scheme. The prospective buyers who had booked the houses demanded a refund of their money and the Deputy Minister of Housing subsequently issued a directive under s 12 of the Housing Developers (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 ('the Act') directing the respondent to make the refunds. The respondent failed to carry out the refunds and was therefore charged in the Magistrate's Court for failure to comply with the Deputy Minister's directive. The learned magistrate acquitted and discharged the respondent, holding that the directive was bad in law as it was not consistent with the scope and objective of s 12 of the Act and was ultra vires the Act. The Public Prosecutor appealed against the learned magistrate's order.

    22 OCTOBER 1993 -  HIGH COURT KUALA LUMPUR
    GUAMAN SIVIL NO S-2-22-336 TAHUN 1991

    Adalah jelas kepada saya Defendan yang telah mungkir di dalam Perjanjian tersebut. Sungguhpun Defendan telah menamatkan Perjanjian tersebut di atas alasan Plaintif telah tidak membuat pembayaran terakhir dan 'service charge' yang diminta. Pertama sekali surat pembatalan itu dibuat selepas tindakan Mahkamah diambil oleh Plaintif. Keduanya kemungkiran adalah oleh Defendan. Dengan itu Defendan tidak berhak membatalkan Perjanjian itu dan juga tidak berhak di atas tuntutan balasannya.
