NG HOO KUI & ANOR v.
WENDY TAN LEE PENG, ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATES OF TAN EWE KWANG, DECEASED & ORS [2020] 10 CLJ 1
FEDERAL COURT, PUTRAJAYA
MOHD ZAWAWI SALLEH FCJ; VERNON ONG LAM KIAT FCJ; ABDUL RAHMAN SEBLI FCJ; ZALEHA YUSOF FCJ; ZABARIAH MOHD YUSOF FCJ
[CIVIL APPEAL NO: 02(f)-60-07-2019(P)]
24 SEPTEMBER 2020
The law is clear in that the principle on which an appellate court could interfere with findings of fact by the trial court is 'the plainly wrong test' principle. The principle encompasses differing and multiple circumstances, but must necessarily apply, inter alia, to situations where it can be shown that the impugned decision is vitiated with plain material errors, or where crucial evidence had been misconstrued, or where the trial judge had so manifestly not taken proper advantage of having seen and heard the witnesses or not properly analysed the entirety of the evidence before him, or where a decision was arrived at without adequate judicial appreciation of the evidence such as to make it rationally unsupportable. This said, the criterion that is central to appellate intervention must remain that deference to the trier of fact is still the rule and not the exception; and the plainly wrong test ought not to be used by the appellate court as a means to substitute the impugned decision with its own.
CIVIL PROCEDURE: Appeal - Appellate intervention - Reversal of High Court decision by Court of Appeal - Application of 'plainly wrong' test - Whether appellate intervention justified in event of lack of judicial appreciation of evidence - Whether conclusions on primary facts by trial judge plainly wrong - Whether evidence justified conclusions at trial - Whether Court of Appeal found decision of trial judge plainly wrong - Whether intervention of Court of Appeal warranted
TRUSTS: Constructive trust - Existence of a trust - Acquisition of shares by defendants from monies paid by plaintiff - Obligations under equity - Whether defendant held shares for benefit of plaintiffs - Whether defendants proved contribution for acquisition of shares - Whether defendants obtained shares as a result of dishonest, unconscionable and inequitable conduct - Whether constructive trust created

M GUNALAN MUNIANDY v. PP Where the court erroneously invokes double presumptions against the accused to prove possession and trafficking and further fails to decide whether the presumptions have been rebutted or otherwise on a balance of probabilities, this tantamounts to a misdirection and the conviction and sentence of the accused for trafficking dangerous drugs is not safe. In such circumstances, the conviction and sentence ought to be set aside and replaced with a conviction for the offence of possession of dangerous drugs. CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Appeal - Appeal against conviction and sentence - Offence of trafficking dangerous drugs - Misdirection - Trial judge invoked double presumptions against accused to prove possession and trafficking - Trial judge failed to decide whether presumptions had been rebutted or not on balance of probabilities - Whether approach taken by trial judge was erroneous - Whether conviction and sentence ought to be set aside - Whether accused should be acquitted

Penggunaan kedua-dua s. 37(d) dan s. 37(da) Akata Dadah Berbahaya 1952 bagi membangkitkan anggapan atas anggapan atau anggapan berganda dalam membuktikan pertuduhan pengedaran dadah, sama ada di akhir kes pendakwaan atau di akhir kes pembelaan, adalah tidak sah di sisi undang-undang dan ultra vires Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Walaupun begitu, fakta pemakaian anggapan berganda tersebut semata-mata tidak semestinya dan tidak secara otomatik membolehkan perayu dilepas atau dibebaskan. Kesilapan sedemikian sekadar mewajarkan campurtangan di peringkat rayuan, dan mahkamah masih perlu meneliti segala keterangan bagi menentukan sama ada ianya selamat untuk mahkamah di peringkat rayuan mengekalkan atau tidak sabitan yang telah dibuat.

The court's power and jurisdiction to grant a decree of divorce is circumscribed and limited by s. 48(1) of the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 to only where the domicile of parties to the marriage are at the time the petition is presented. It follows that a joint petition for divorce may only be legally presented when both the husband and wife are residing or domiciled in Malaysia. Lack of jurisdiction, further, cannot be waived, consented to or overcome by any agreement of the parties. Hence, where a joint petition for divorce was filed when both parties were residing in Japan, and a decree of divorce had somehow and nonetheless been granted, such an order must stand as irregular, ineffectual and unenforceable in law and liable to be set aside.

With the increasing acceptance of remote communication technology, it would not be in the interest of justice to allow a transfer application where to do so will not secure the expeditious and economical disposal of the action. This is especially so in situations like the recent Movement Control Order caused by the Covid-19 pandemic which has illustrated that hearings can be conducted with judges in their respective chambers/homes and parties involved in their respective offices/homes.

(i) Notwithstanding that the right to vary orders in matrimonial proceedings is codified and parties are at "liberty to apply' for further orders and judgments, orders and judgments in matrimonial proceedings, just like any other court orders/judgments, are final and conclusive.
(ii) The Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) (Amendment) Act 2017 (A1546) does not have retrospective effect to vary a decree nisi entered by parties, except as provided in the transition provision in s. 8. Therefore, an application to vary the terms of a decree nisi with a view to extend the duration for maintenance of a child until such time as the child completes his tertiary education as opposed to the time when the child attains the age of 18 years, following the amendment vide Act A1546 to s. 95 of the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 which allows such extension, cannot be allowed where the decree nisi was granted before Act A1546 came into force and the child attained 18 years also before Act A1546 came into force.
