Tan Choon Soon & Anor v Mohd Azhar Bin Musa & Ors

The plaintiffs filed a civil suit against the defendants for breach of a share sale agreement involving RM22 million. The plaintiffs deposited RM4.4 million (10% of the purchase price) but claimed the defendants failed to fulfill the agreement's terms, particularly clause 3.4, which required compliance within eight months. The plaintiffs sought summary judgment under Order 14 of the Rules of Court 2012, requesting declarations of contract termination, return of the deposit, and interest. The defendants argued that delays were due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that the plaintiffs' unilateral termination was unjustified. The High Court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.
