MOHAMED JALALUDEEN BIN ARIFF v SERI PACIFIC CORPORATION SDN. BHD.

wa-12ancvc-143-09-2023 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 6 November 2024 • WA-12ANCvC-143-09/2023

Catchwords

Non-renewal of fixed-term contract, salary deductions and reductions in EPF contributions. The High Court allowed the appeal against the Sessions Court’s decision to strike out the plaintiff’s claim. The claim was not one for wrongful dismissal under the Industrial Relations Act 1967 but rather a contractual dispute concerning salary deductions and financial losses from the non-renewal of the plaintiff’s fixed-term contract. The court reaffirmed that contractual claims, distinct from wrongful dismissal, fall within the jurisdiction of the Civil Courts.
