Law in Malaysia

The case law related to the boundaries of application
is,Syarikat Batu Sinar Sdn. Bhd. v. UMBC Finance Bhd.
In this case, problem of double financing occurred when
first purchaser’s (UMBC Finance Bhd.) indorsement of
ownership claim was not included in the registration card
of vehicle. UMBC tried to repossess the vehicle. The
plaintiff sued UMBC, claiming that defendants were not
entitled to the vehicle.
It was held that the English law requires the indorsement of
ownership claim in registration card, but the law in
Peninsular Malaysia does not really require the
indorsement to be attached with the registration card of
vehicle. The law regarding the indorsement of ownership
claims in Malaysia which applies to the local circumstances
has to be distinguished from the English law.
