HIGH COURT MALAYA SHAH ALAM
SUNSHINE CONSTRUCTION SDN BHD – Appellant
Versus
MARVELANE SDN BHD & OTHER CASES – Respondent
No, the court did not grant the setting aside of the adjudication decision. It dismissed the Setting Aside OS (OS No BA-24C-44-08/2021) filed by Marvelane. (!) (!) (!) (!)
The court's reasoning confirmed the adjudicator's jurisdiction under CIPAA (ss 5(2), 12, 15, 26, 35), as Sunshine's payment claim disclosed a valid cause of action based on certified interim certificates (IC nos 17 to 23) under clause 30.1 of the contract. No breaches of natural justice or excess of jurisdiction under s 15 CIPAA were found, and clause 25.4(d) was void as a conditional payment provision under s 35(1) CIPAA. (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) (!)
