JUDGMENT

Atan Mustaffa Yusoff Ahmad J:

[1] Before the court is a dispute arising from a friendly loan agreement and related share placement transaction, where an executrix seeks to recover monies allegedly due to the deceased's estate. The key issues revolve around whether there was accord and satisfaction of the loan, the relationship between two contemporaneous agreements executed by different but related parties, the sufficiency of pleadings for certain defenses, and whether a debt that was not specifically mentioned in a will but included in probate assets can be pursued by an executrix under a residuary clause.
