Catchwords
This judgment concerns a striking out application in an estate dispute following the deaths of spouses Aminah and Arshad. The Plaintiffs, beneficiaries under Arshad's estate, claimed entitlement to a 30.56% share in two properties allegedly excluded from the Settlement Agreement. The Defendant, as administrator sought to strike out the claim, contending that the Agreement constituted a full and final settlement. The Court held that it had jurisdiction because the dispute concerned the interpretation of a civil contract, not the determination of Islamic inheritance. The Court found that the Plaintiffs had only one entitlement—their fractional faraid shares, which already incorporated Arshad's subdivided portion—not two separate entitlements as claimed. The Agreement comprehensively covered both estates and the disputed properties. Finding that the claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action, was vexatious, and constituted an abuse of process, the Court allowed the striking-out application with costs. Striking out; Settlement agreement; Faraid; Estoppel; Contract interpretation; O 18 R 19 ROC 2012; Abuse of process
