[1354.22] PENGHAKIMAN INGKAR


Penghakiman ingkar boleh diketepikan oleh sesuatu pihak. Permohonan untuk mengenepikan penghakiman ingkar boleh dibuat sekiranya penghakiman ingkar yang diperolehi adalah tidak teratur. Sekiranya penghakiman ingkar tersebut adalah teratur, pembelaan bermerit perlu dibuktikan oleh pemohon untuk mengenepikan penghakiman ingkar.
Prinsip ini dijelaskan di dalam kes LAI YOKE NGAN & ANOR V. CHIN TECK KWEE & ANOR [1997] 2 MLJ 565 Mahkamah Persekutuan menyatakan bahawa:
“The principle of setting aside a default judgment under O 13 r 8 has been well established and needs no detailed repetition. What is important to observe is that a default judgment is not a judgment on merits. Accordingly, when such judgment is obtained irregularly, such irregularity would be a sufficient ground by itself for setting it aside. But where the default judgment has been obtained regularly, in order to succeed the defendant must file an affidavit of merits i.e. the defendant must disclose by affidavit evidence that prima facie he has a defence on the merits. Put in another way, the affidavit must disclose that he has an arguable or triable issue on the merits (see Evans v. Bartiam (1937) AC 478)...”
