Pliding: Suatu Kajian Perbandingan di Antara Malaysia dan United Kingdom (Pleadings: A Comparative Study between Malaysia and the United Kingdom)

Tang Jia Yearn, Puteri Aisyah Binti Megat Mohd Azlan, Shahrul Mizan Bin Ismail

Abstract


A pleading is a set of facts detailing the plaintiff’s cause of action or the defendant’s defense. Pleading plays a huge role in identifying the issues or matters of a case. Pleadings are also crucial in informing the parties about the case they need to confront, subsequently preparing them to work out on the lawsuit. Comparison of laws in regard to pleadings between Malaysia and the United Kingdom is made because Malaysia refers a lot to United Kingdom cases involving civil procedure. The objective of this article is to discuss the issues that have arisen with respect to pleading and provide enlightenment on the differences between the law governing pleadings in Malaysia and the United Kingdom. The research of this article is conducted through doctrinal methods in which different legal sources from the chosen countries have been studied to achieve the purpose of this paper. Among the issues that have been identified are the time set for the closing of the pleadings, matters that need to be pleaded specifically and the striking out of pleadings on the grounds of abuse of process. The results of this study also aim to expose the reader to United Kingdom cases that have the potential to serve as a precedent for Malaysia as Malaysia still does not have cases that discuss certain issues.

 

Abstrak

Pliding merupakan satu set fakta yang memperincikan kausa tindakan plaintif atau pembelaan defendan. Pliding memainkan peranan yang amat besar dalam mengenal pasti isu atau perkara dalam sesebuah kes. Pliding juga penting dalam memaklumkan kepada pihak-pihak mengenai kes yang perlu mereka hadapi dan seterusnya menyediakan mereka untuk mengambil langkah untuk mengendalikan suatu kes. Perbandingan antara Malaysia dan United Kingdom dilakukan kerana Malaysia banyak merujuk kepada kes-kes United Kingdom yang melibatkan tatacara sivil. Objektif artikel ini adalah untuk membincangkan isu-isu yang telah timbul berkenaan dengan pliding dan memberi pencerahan mengenai perbezaan antara undang-undang pliding di Malaysia dan United Kingdom. Penyelidikan artikel ini dijalankan melalui kaedah doktrinal di mana sumber undang-undang negara yang berbeza telah dikaji untuk mencapai tujuan artikel ini. Antara isu yang telah dikenalpasti adalah masa yang ditetapkan bagi penutupan pliding, perkara yang perlu diplid dengan khusus dan pembatalan pliding serta pengendorsan atas alasan penyalahgunaan proses. Hasil kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk mendedahkan pembaca kepada kes-kes United Kingdom yang berpotensi untuk menjadi duluan kepada Malaysia kerana Malaysia masih lagi tidak mempunyai kes-kes yang membincangkan mengenai isu-isu tertentu.
