[1]The sole issue in this appeal is whether leave of court is required for the commencement of proceedings against a court-appointed liquidator.
[2]The long-established position in this jurisdiction is that leave is obtained from the winding up court prior to such commencement. However, in two recent decisions, namely Kao Che Jen v N Chanthiran Nagappan 2015 MarsdenLR 216 (‘Kao Che Jen’) and the instant appeal, the Court of Appeal has departed from this long-established position. It is therefore incumbent upon this Court to clarify the relevant legal principles in this regard.
