The Court delivered its Grounds of Judgment in relation to the Plaintiff’s application under Order 14A of the Rules of Court 2012 against the 2nd Defendant, which was allowed. The Plaintiff’s claim arose from banking facilities granted to the 1st Defendant and secured by a personal guarantee executed by the 2nd Defendant. The 2nd Defendant did not dispute the facilities, the execution of the guarantee, or utilisation of the facilities, but argued that restructuring between 2021 and 2024 discharged his liability. The Court held that the matter turned solely on the construction of the guarantee and facility documents, with no factual dispute requiring oral evidence or a full trial. The Defendant’s contention that a fresh guarantee was necessary following restructuring was rejected, as the guarantee expressly preserved continuity of liability. Judgment was therefore entered against the 2nd Defendant for RM2,090,206.54 and RM1,547,346.89 with contractual interest, solicitor-client costs, and liberty to enforce the judgment.
