Pang Huey Lynn writes about this novel decision where a party filed a suit against a judicial manager.
The High Court in the case of Demeter O&G Supplies Sdn Bhd v Datuk Stephen Duar Tuan Kiat (as judicial manager of Scomi Oiltools Sdn Bhd and Scomi KMC Sdn Bhd) (grounds of judgment dated 30 November 2021) allowed the judicial manager’s application to strike out the civil suit filed against him.
One of the key issues was whether a party could file a suit against a judicial manager without first obtaining permission from the judicial management court.
