Majlis Amanah Rakyat vs Ten-Tel And Construction Sdn Bhd (in liquidation)

The Appellant, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), appealed against the High Court's decision to allow the Respondent, Ten-Tel And Construction Sdn Bhd (in liquidation), to claim RM5,665,383.79 for construction work performed under a sub-contract. The High Court found privity of contract between the parties based on conduct, despite the absence of formal consent. The Court of Appeal reversed the decision, holding that no privity of contract existed and that the Respondent's claim was not binding on the Appellant. The appeal was allowed with costs.
