NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)<br />

26. CONTINGENCIES (Cont’d)<br />

In January 2007, Masterskill filed an application to the Kuala Lumpur High Court against KDSB, SKSB, K. Pasupathy, CYM and LKO<br />

seeking, among other things, a declaration that the SPA is still valid and subsisting, an interlocutory injunction to restrain KDSB<br />

and SKSB from terminating the SPA, and an injunction against CYM and LKO from entering the premises of Masterskill’s Cheras<br />

university college campus.<br />

With respect to the proceedings against CYM and LKO, on 6 August 2008, Masterskill withdrew the injunction application against<br />

them upon receipt of an undertaking by them not to enter the premises of Masterskill’s Cheras university college campus until<br />

the resolution of the proceedings.<br />

After the commencement of proceedings, Masterskill engaged in out of court discussions with KDSB and SKSB and in May 2008,<br />

KDSB, SKSB and Masterskill agreed to settle the claims. Pursuant to Masterskill’s settlement agreement, Masterskill would pay<br />

RM2,800,000 for the Six Properties. The sale under this settlement agreement is currently pending completion and Masterskill<br />

is expected to become the registered owner of the title to the Six Properties sometime in 2013. With respect to Masterskill’s<br />

proceedings against KDSB and SKSB, consent judgement was recorded on 14 July 2009 wherein KDSB and SKSB confirmed that<br />

Masterskill was the beneficial and legal owner of the Six Properties.<br />

In August 2009, K. Pasupathy filed an application to set aside the aforesaid consent judgement. His application was dismissed with<br />

costs in February 2011.<br />

With respect to the proceedings against K. Pasupathy, after Masterskill filed the original application, K. Pasupathy filed a counterclaim<br />

against Masterskill seeking vacant possession of the Six Properties. On 25 June 2008, Masterskill filed an application to<br />

strike out this counter-claim, which was rejected by the High Court in May 2009. At the same time, the High Court allowed an<br />

application made by K. Pasupathy to strike out Masterskill’s reply to K. Pasupathy’s defence. Masterskill have since appealed against<br />

both of these decisions.<br />

The High Court has on 13 September 2010 dismissed Masterskill’s application to set aside K. Pasupathy’s Judgement in Default<br />

dated 13 May 2009 with costs of RM5,000. The Court of Appeal had on 13 August 2009 stayed the effects of the Order which<br />

was obtained by K. Pasupathy to strike out Masterskill’s defence. The Court of Appeal’s decision is still in effect.<br />

The Court of Appeal fixed this matter for hearing of the intervener’s appeal on 21 June 2013 and further Case Management on<br />

27 June 2013. The matter is further fixed for Case Management on 23 June 2013 pending the outcome of all the Appeals at the<br />

Court of Appeal.<br />
