Toh Puan D. Heryati binti Abdul Rahim vs Lau Ban Tin & Anor
The Appellant, Toh Puan D. Heryati binti Abdul Rahim, appealed against the High Court's decision dismissing her claim for land transfer or compensation based on a Share Sale Agreement (SSA) with the Respondents. The High Court ruled the claim was barred by limitation under Section 6 of the Limitation Act 1953. The Court of Appeal upheld the decision, finding the claim was for breach of contract rather than land recovery, and thus subject to a 6-year limitation period.
