Teang Soo Thong dan satu lagi lwn Malaysia Venture Capital Management Bhd dan lain lain [2016] 9 MLJ 777

[Pre-condition for filing of a suit for malicious prosecution] Justin was counsel for the defendants and assisted by Chooi Peng. In allowing the Defendant’s application under Order 18 Rule 19(1)(a) Rules of Court 2012 to strike out the suit by the Plaintiff for “malicious prosecution” with costs, the High Court held that as it was clear that the plaintiffs had no cause of action against the defendant as the precondition for such a suit is not met where the suit by the Plaintiff has not ended in favour of the Plaintiff and therefore the filing of the suit by the plaintiffs against the defendant could not be maintained in law.
