An important corollary to this principle is that all Court Orders must be obeyed until set aside. This is so even if the order was improperly obtained. The authorities on this point are numerous. I need only refer to a few. As such, the CA Stay Order must be followed until set aside. It matters not that the CA Stay Order was improper or flawed, which has not been alleged here. a. In Badiaddin bin Mohd Mahidin & Anor v Arab Malaysian Finance Bhd [1998] 1 MLJ 393 [Tab 1 ABOA], the Supreme Court at page 426: “Of course, so long as an order of a court of unlimited jurisdiction stands, irregular though it may be, it must be respected.” b. In Wee Choo Keong v Mbf Holdings Bhd [1993] 2 MLJ 217, where the Supreme Court held at pp 220 & 221: “Obedience to court order It is established law that a person against whom an order of court has been issued is duty bound to obey that order until it is set aside. It is not open for him to decide for himself whether the order was wrongly issued and therefore does not require obedience.” Further, Abdul Hamid Omar LP, said: “Orders of court must be treated with respect and require strict obedience. The following passage in a decision of the High Court in Foo Khoon Long v. Foo Khoon Wong [2009] 1 LNS 850; [2009] 9 MLJ 441 is no less instructive: At the time when the court had granted leave on 11 June 2007, it is pertinent to observe that there was only a prima facie case of contempt which was based on an ex parte application. In other words, it is merely a vetting process on an ex parte basis to consider if there was a prima facie (case) of contempt and the court did not go into the merits ...” c. In Wee Choo Keong v Mbf Holdings Bhd [1995] 3 MLJ 549, a second panel of the Supreme Court held at p 575: “… Until and unless it is set aside, the order is valid and must be obeyed. In my view, the correct position is that once an interim injunction has been granted, it must be obeyed. If the person against whom the order is made feels that the injunction order ought not to have been made for any reason, he must apply to have it set aside. Until it is set aside, he must respect and obey it.”
