wa-22c-55-09-2025 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 1 April 2026 • WA-22C-55-09/2025

Catchwords

This case concerns an application for an interim injunction to restrain a call on an on-demand bank guarantee, where the central legal issue was whether the Defendant’s demand was unconscionable. The Court considered the principles governing injunctions against bank guarantees and the “seriously arguable” test for unconscionability, alongside Sections 13 and 37 of the CIPAA 2012 on the temporary finality of adjudication decisions. The Court held that the Plaintiff failed to establish a strong prima facie case of unconscionability and dismissed the injunction application.
