Secara alternatif pada perenggan (3) di atas, suatu perintah bahawa syarikat tersebut digulung menurut S.181(2) (e) Akta Syarikat 1965. vi. Pada masa yang sama juga, Plaintif telah memfailkan Kandungan 3 memohon untuk satu perintah injunksi ex parte 8 untuk menghalang Defendan Pertama dan Defendan Kedua dari meneruskan mesyuarat yang dijadualkan pada 22.3.2014. vii. Kedua-dua Kandungan 1 dan Kandungan 3 telah ditetapkan untuk perbicaraan di hadapan Yang Arif Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman Tuan Mohamed Zaini bin Mazlan pada 12.11.2014. Pada 4.12.2014, Plaintif telah menarik balik permohonan Kandungan 3 dan Yang Arif Tuan Mohamed Zaini telah kemudian menolak Kandungan 3 Plaintif dengan kos dibayar kepada Defendan-Defendan. Pada tarikh yang sama, Yang Arif Tuan Mohamed Zaini telah juga memutuskan bahawa Kandungan 1 Plaintif ditolak dengan kos. Plaintif yang tidak berpuashati atas keputusan tersebut telah memfailkan notis rayuan ke Mahkamah Rayuan 22.12.2014 merayu terhadap keputusan Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman tersebut. [3] Justeru, sementara penyelesaian rayuannya terhadap Kandungan 1 didengar oleh Mahkamah Rayuan, Kandungan 28 ini, telah difailkan oleh Plaintif bagi memohon satu injunksi Erinford bagi menghalang Defendan-defendan, pekerja-pekerja mereka, ejen-ejen atau 9 sebaliknya sama sekali daripada melaksanakan, atau memberi kesan pada mana-mana mesyuarat yang ditetapkan oleh Defendan-Defendan berkaitan dengan agenda di dalam Notis Mesyuarat Lembaga Pengarah-Pengarah bertarikh 18.3.2014 ke atas TNSB. [4] Undang-undang dan prinsip mengenai injunksi Erinford ini adalah jelas dan jitu. Injunksi Erinford yang merupakan remedi ekuiti ini adalah mengambil nama sempena kes Erinford Properties Ltd v Cheshire County Council [1974] 2 All ER 448 di mana telah diputuskan bahawa bagi mengekalkan status quo sementara menunggu penyelesaian rayuan, mahkamah masih mempunyai bidang kuasa untuk membenarkan satu perintah injunksi walaupun pada peringkat pertama mahkamah telah menolak atau melepaskan sesuatu perintah injunksi. Perintah injunksi sebegini dipanggil injunksi Erinford. Di dalam memutuskan bidang kuasa mahkamah bagi remedi ekuiti ini, Megarry J di dalam kes Erinford Properties di muka surat 454 penghakimannya berkata berikut: “ On the other hand, where the application is for an injunction pending an appeal, the question is whether the judgment that has been given in one on which the successful party ought to be free to act despite the pendency of 10 an appeal. One of the important factors in making such a decision, of course, is the possibility that the judgment may be reversed or varied. Judge must decide cases even if they are hesitant in their conclusions; and at the other extreme a judge may be very clear in his conclusions and yet on appeal be held to be wrong. No human being is infallible, and for none are there more public and authoritative explanations of their errors than for judges. A judge who feels no doubt in dismissing a claim to an interlocutory injunction may, perfectly, consistently with his decision, recognize that his decision might be reversed, and that the comparative effects of granting or refusing an injunction pending an appeal are such that it would be right to preserve the status quo pending the appeal. I cannot see that a decision that no injunction should be granted pending the trial is inconsistent, either logically or otherwise, with holding that an injunction should be granted pending an appeal against the decision not to grant the injunction, or that by refusing an injunction pending the trial the judge becomes functus officio quoad granting any injunction at all. There may, of course, be many cases where it would be wrong to grant an injunction pending appeal, as where any appeal would be frivolous, or to grant the injunction would inflict greater hardship than it would avoid, and so on. But subject to that, the principle is to be found in the leading judgment of Cotton LJ in Wilson v Church (No 2)1, where speaking of an appeal from the Court of Appeal to the House of Lords, he said, ‘when a party is appealing, exercising his indoubted right of appeal, this court ought to see that appeal, if successful, is not nugatory’. That was the principle which Pennyquick J applied in the Orian case2; and 11 although the cases had not then been cited to me, it was on that principle, and not because I felt any real doubts about my judgment on the motion, that I granted counsel for the plaintiffs the limited injunction pending appeal that he sought. This is not a case in which damages seem to me to be a suitable alternative.” (penekanan oleh Mahkamah ini) [5] Adalah juga suatu yang jelas dan jitu bahawa prinsip yang telah diutarakan di dalam kes Erinford Properties ini telah diikuti oleh mahkamah-mahkamah di Malaysia. Ini dapat dilihat dengan merujuk kepada beberapa kes yang telah diputuskan. [6] Di dalam kes Chellapa a/l Kalimuthu v Sime UEP Properties Bhd [1998] 1 MLJ 20, rujukan telah dibuat oleh Mahkamah Rayuan kepada Interlocutory Injunctions oleh Tan Woon Tiang dan Koh Kok Wah (Butterworths Asia, 1992) pada muka surat 28 di mana Mahkamah Rayuan di muka surat 26 dan 27 penghakimannya, menyatakan berikut: “The kind of prejudice contemplated which will require interim relief has been aptly summarized in Interlocutory Injunctions by Tan Woon Tiang dan Koh Kok Wah (Butterworths Asia, 1992) at page 28. It reads: 12 On the principle that an appellant must not be deprived of the results of an appeal, the country may grant an injunction pending appeal to restrain an act which will render the appeal nugatory (see Orion Property Trust Ltd). Even if an ex parte application for an interlocutory injunction is dismissed, the country may nonetheless grant an injunction pending the appeal against dismissal of the application (see Erinford Properties Ltd; Dickson Trading; Tun Datu Haji Mustapha bin Datu Harun). … Such injunction pending appeal have been called Erinford injunction after the Erinford case. An Erinford injunction will be granted only where there is a likelihood of a successful appeal being rendered nugatory or if the plaintiff would not be adequately compensated in damages for temporary damage between the date of hearing and the date when its appeal is heard (Cocoa Processors) … The court has a discretion to grant an injunction and order a stay pending appeal if that is necessary to ensure that the appeal will not be academic (see Minnesota Mining Co; Kuttikevundaw).” [7] Di dalam kes Marina bte Mohd Yusoff v Pekeliling Triangle Sdn Bhd [2008] 1 CLJ 333, di dalam mengesahkan wujudnya bidang kuasa mahkamah di dalam membenarkan satu perintah injunksi atas penolakan suatu permohonan injunksi interlokutori sementara penyelesaian rayuan terhadap penolakan tersebut, di perenggan [31] penghakimannya, Mahkamah Rayuan telah berkata berikut: 13 “[31] We will first consider the third appeal. It is well settled that the court has jurisdiction on dismissal of an application for an interlocutory injunction to grant the unsuccessful applicant an injunction pending an appeal against the dismissal. The principle governing the grant of the said injunction, known as an Erinford injunction, was set out by Meggary J, in Erinford Properties Ltd v Cheshire County Counsel [1974] 2 All ER 448, at p 454, as follows: There will, of course, be many cases where it would be wrong to grant an injunction pending appeal, as where any appeal would be frivolous, or to grant the injunction would inflict greater hardship than it would avoid, and so on. But subject to that, the principle is to be found in the leading judgment of Cotton LJ in Wilson v Church (No 2)(1879-1980) 12 Ch D454, where speaking of an appeal from the Court of Appeal to the House of Lords, he said at p 458, … when a party is appealing, exercising his indoubted right of appeal, this court ought to see the that the appeal, if successful, is not nugatory.’ That was the principle which Pennycuick J applied in the Onion case [1962] 1 WLR 1085 and although the case had not been cited to me, it was on that principle, and not because I felt any doubts about my judgment on the motion, that I granted Mr. Newsom the limited injunction pending appeal that he sought. This is not a case which damages seem to me to be a suitable alternative.” 14 [8] Di dalam kes Subashini Rajasingam v. Saravanan Thangathoray (No. 2) [2007] 4 MLJ 97 pula telah diputuskan antara lain oleh Mahkamah Rayuan bahawa: “…In the absence of a statutory provision prohibiting the application of developments in English law after 7 April 1956, a Malaysian court is entitles to apply cases decided in England after that date. Furthermore, in reference to case of Wilson v. Church, if in 1879 equitable jurisprudence recognised jurisdiction to grant an injunction pending appeal, then, even accepting the submission of the respondent, this was a principle established before 1956 and was in existence at the cut-off date. Hence, the Malaysian courts may safely exercise the power under discussion without even referring to Erinford Properties (supra) and by so doing, be complaint with the direction contained in s.3 of the 1956 Act. Since there is no statutory prohibition against the issuing of an injunction pending appeal, this court had both the jurisdiction and power to issue such an injunction preserving the status quo until the outcome of the appellant’s leave application.
