- The undertaking given by all Defendants by way of consent cannot be varied, amended, set aside and/or appealed. Section 68 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 provides no appeal shall be brought to the Court of Appeal in cases where the judgement or order is made by consent of parties. In addition, the Court of Appeal case of Mega Palm Sdn Bhd & Anor v Hun Tee Siang & Ors [2022] MLJU 294 decided the following: - “[22] After a judgement by consent has been passed and entered, it cannot afterwards be varied on the ground of mistake…The general rule is that after a judgment has been passed and entered, even where it has been taken by consent and under a mistake, the court cannot set it aside…The same rule must apply, a fortiori, where the parties have entered into an agreement in pursuance of the terms of settlement embodied in the consent order. … [30] …until the consent order is set aside, the consent order operates as an estoppel disallowing the defendants today from departing from its terms. [31] …Once a consent judgement has been perfected, the parties are bound by it and the court is duty bound to enforce the agreed terms unless with the mutual consent of the parties…
