JUDGMENT

Azlan Sulaiman J:

Introduction

[1] These three Originating Summons are connected by an Adjudication Decision dated 19 August 2024 ("Adjudication Decision") that SMCC Malaysia Sdn Bhd ("SMCC") obtained against Wah Loon (M) Sdn Bhd ("Wah Loon") under the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act, 2012 ("Act").

[2] In order of filing:

(i) by Originating Summons No: WA-24C-41-03/2025 ("OS 41"), SMCC is applying under s 28 of the Act to enforce the Adjudication Decision against Wah Loon;

(ii) by Originating Summons No: WA-24C-55-03/2025 ("OS 55"), Wah Loon is applying to set the Adjudication Decision aside under ss 15(b) and 15(c) of the Act; and

(iii) by Originating Summons No: WA-24C-56-03/2025 ("OS 56"), Wah Loon is applying to stay the Adjudication Decision under s 16(1)(b) of the Act pending the disposal of Kuala Lumpur High Court Civil Suit No: WA-22C-17-03/2025 ("Civil Suit").

[3] Deciding it prudent to hear all three Originating Summons together, I will decide OS 55 first followed by OS 41 and then only OS 56. If the Adjudication Decision is set aside, then there will be nothing left to enforce or stay. Likewise, only if the Adjudication Decision is to be enforced sh
