Reebok (M) Sdn Bhd v CIMB Bank Berhad
The Court of Appeal dismissed CIMB Bank's motion to strike out Reebok's appeal, holding that the company had obtained proper sanction from the liquidator to pursue the appeal. The court emphasized the constitutional right to appeal and found that procedural irregularities could be cured by the court's powers under section 69 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964. The court distinguished this case from previous authorities and upheld Reebok's right to appeal despite being wound up.
