Tetuan Sulaiman & Taye v Wong Poh Kun & Wong Poh Lum

The Court of Appeal heard two related appeals concerning the liability of former directors of Bistari Land Sdn Bhd (BL) for fraudulent trading under Section 304(1) of the Companies Act 1965. The Plaintiff, Tetuan Sulaiman & Taye, claimed RM5,907,500 for legal services rendered to BL. The High Court found the directors liable but ordered payment to the liquidator. The Court of Appeal upheld the liability but directed payment to the Plaintiff, setting aside the High Court's order regarding the Inland Revenue Department's debt.
