Abdul Malik Ishak JCA:

Introduction

[1] The appellant was the defendant in the High Court below. Their appeal before us was against the decision of the High Court judge at Malacca who issued an interlocutory injunction restraining the appellant from entering the respondent's (the plaintiff in the High Court below) land until further order.

[2] The judgment of the High Court judge has since been reported in the local law journal videTeobros Development Sdn Bhd v. Tenaga Nasional Berhad, [2007] 9 CLJ 775.

[3] Now, as the subject matter of the appeal centred on the interlocutory injunction, we need only apply the guidelines of this Court in Keet Gerald Francis Noel John v. Mohd Noor bin Abdullah & Ors, [1995] 1 CLJ 293 (hereinafter referred to as "Keet Gerald") in order to decide whether the High Court judge had exercised his discretion judiciously.
