Both are interconnected and share common facts, issues, parties and are against the decision delivered by the learned Judicial Commissioner ("learned JC") in the High Court of Malaya in Ipoh, Perak on 13 August 2019.

(b) Claim for special damages as per Plaintiff's Statement of Claim ("SOC");

(c) Claim for exemplary and aggravated damages; and

(d) Amount of costs awarded to the plaintiff.

[3] In Appeal No 71, the defendants appealed against the finding of liability.

[4] For the purpose of these appeals, parties will be referred to as they were in the High Court.
