shares in Kumpulan Gutrie Berhad
2. Due to repeated breaches by Tan Sri Khalid, Bank offered him a restructuring and Tan Sri
Khalid agreed.
3. But later, Tan Sri Khalid breached the restructuring agreement. Bank sued.
Issues:
1. whether there existed a collateral agreement between the parties orally and by conduct;
whether the validity of the BBA Facility Agreement was challenged for want of compliance
with the principles of Syariah;
2. whether the mode of execution of Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) and Asset Sale
Agreement (ASA) was improper because Tan Sri Khalid was made to sign the agreements
first before they were passed back to be completed by the Bank;
3. whether there was wrongful sale of pledged shares because of (1)the Banks failure to
obtain the consent from Tan Sri Khalid and (2) that there may have been impropriety on
the part of CIMB Investment Bank Berhad who handled the sale of the pledged Guthrie
Shares.
Summary Judgement:
The court thinks that it is inappropriate & Not bona fide for Tan Sri Khalid to challenge the
validity of the BBA Agreement after he benefited from it, and this a mere afterthought.
The court said that in Shariah, the obligation to settle debts is of high importance.
3. In relation to 3rd issue:
Tan Sri Khalid had given his full mandate & consent that upon signing the BBA Facility, the
Bank has full rights to sell the shares of Kumpulan Guthrie.
The Bank was just executing its rights under the BBA Facility and this is fine.
