Merujuk kepada nas yang dirujuk oleh Responden-Responden dalam kes Ganad Media Sdn Bhd v Dato' Bandar Kuala Lumpur (No 1) [2001] MLJU 683: “Interlocutory proceedings An argument was advanced by the defendant that the affidavits of Zainal Abidin Bin Md Zain were filed in the present proceedings for the purpose of interlocutory proceedings and, on this basis, it was pointed out that the affidavits of this individualmust be rendered admissible. Indeed, the summons in chambers dated February 23, 2001 in enclosure 5 that was filed by the plaintiff for an ex parte interim injunction, the summons in chambers dated March 2, 2001 in enclosure 10 S/N RhyCETbmp0Kx0tRxnG0x1w that was filed by the defendantto set aside the ex parte order dated February 24, 2001, and, finally, the summons in chambers in enclosure 17 dated March 2, 2001 filed by the plaintiff for an inter partes interim injunction were all in the nature of interlocutory proceedings. Lee Hun Hoe C.J. (Borneo) in Perumahan Farlim (Pg) Sdn Bhd & Ors v Cheng Hang Guan & Ors (1989) 3 MLJ 223 S.C. had occasion to consider the meaning to be attached to the word “interlocutory”. At page 227 of the report, this was what his Lordship had to say: “The object of an interlocutory interim injunction is to preserve mattersin status quo until the case be tried. Such an injunction is therefore usually so framed as to continue in force until the hearing of the cause or until further order. It cannot be considered in argument as affecting the ultimate decision of a cause. In Gilbert v Endean [1878] 9 Ch D 259 at pp 268-9, the matter was clearly stated by Cotton LJ at p 268: ‘...those applications only are considered interlocutory which do not decide the rights of parties, but are made for the purpose of keeping things in status quo till the rights can be decided, or for the purpose of obtaining some direction of the court as to how the causeis to be conducted, as to what is to be done in the progress of the cause for the purpose of S/N RhyCETbmp0Kx0tRxnG0x1w enabling the court ultimately to decide upon the rights of the parties.’ The same matters before us were argued in the court below. The learned judge had dealt with them in some detail. We have not been persuaded that the learned judge was wrong. We have no reason to interfere with his decision. Accordingly, we would dismiss the appeal with costs. Deposit to the defendantson account of taxed costs.” Of course, what Cotton L.J. said in Gilbert v Endean (1878) 9 Ch D 259 was correct. Applications whichare interlocutory would certainly not decide the rights of the parties. Jeffrey Pinsler in his book entitled, “Civil Procedure”, a 1994 edition, echoed the same sentiments at page 38 thereof: “Theimportance of the interlocutory proceeding lies in the availability and willingness of the court to grant interim relief when appropriate and to ensure that in any situation, the interests of justice are fully served. In most situations, this jurisdiction isbrought into being by the application of a party in relation to a particular issue or problem, and therefore initiative is a vital element in the interlocutory process.” S/N RhyCETbmp0Kx0tRxnG0x1w The test to determine whether anorder is interlocutory or final can be found in the case of Bozon v Altrincham U.D.C.
