JUDGMENT

Aliza Sulaiman J:

[1] This was an appeal by the appellant against the decision of the learned Sessions Court Judge ('SCJ') made on 25 August 2023 in:

(a) allowing the respondent's claim for the sum of RM172,719.62 with interest at the rate of 5% per annum on the said sum from the date of filing of the Writ of Summons until the date of full settlement and costs of RM6,000.00; and

(b) dismissing the appellant's counterclaim for the sum of RM360,691.17 with costs of RM1,000.00.

[2] After having considered the Record of Appeal and the comprehensive written submissions of the parties and the Common Scott Schedule (encl 22), including the oral clarification by the learned counsels who represented the parties, I allowed the appeal only in respect of subparagraph 1(a) above whereby the amount allowed following the appeal was RM103,769.22 with interest at the rate of 5% per annum from the date of filing of the Writ of Summons until full settlement.

[3] The appellant is aggrieved by my decision. These are my full grounds of judgment ('GoJ') for purposes of the appellant's appeal to the Court of Appeal.

[4] The parties shall hereinafter be referred to as they were in the Court below.
