Outcome Of Injunction Application

Result : Round 1 to the Concerned Members

WHAT THE PLAINTIFFS' INJUNCTION APPLICATION ASKED FOR

1. Injunction to stop the 1st and 2nd Defendants (Pastor Prince and the Deacons) from holding the 23 April Church AGM.

2. Injunction to stop the 1st and 2nd Defendants from removing the membership rights of the Plaintiffs and all other members (i.e. reinstatement of all members).

3. Injunction to stop the 1st and 2nd Defendants from amending the Rules and By-Laws of the Church Constitution.

4. Injunction to stop the 1st and 2nd Defendants from disposing any assets of the church without approval of AG Malaysia or an interim committee appointed by the Court.

5. Injunction to stop the 1st and 2nd Defendants from signing any cheque or cash transaction exceeding RM5,000 without approval of AG Malaysia or an interim committee appointed by the Court.


WHAT THE JUDGE DECIDED

1. The Judge did not grant the Injunction No.1 to stop the coming 23 April Church AGM.

2. The Judge partially granted Injunction No.2 and ordered the reinstatement of ONLY the 7 Plaintiffs and not all the 400 sacked members.

3. The Judge awarded legal costs of the Injunction application to the Plaintiffs (to be paid by the 1st and 2nd Defendants).

The Judge's rationale for rejecting Injunction No 1,3,4 and 5 was that they were not of material significance or urgency and if and when the Plaintiffs win the Originating Summons case later, she will allow the Plaintiffs the remedy of damages for decisions and transactions approved by the Defendants during the period of the legal suit.

In granting Injunction 2, the Judge approved the reinstatement of the 7 Plaintiffs only. This was the result of the argument by the Defendants' lawyer that the list of names of all the members was not known to the Court. Although the Judge granted only 1 out of 5 Injunction Prayers, it is deemed as a judgment in favour of the Plaintiffs and therefore, costs was awarded to the Plaintiffs.

CT understands that the core TTG group are now deliberating on whether to file an appeal to the Court of Appeal to review the Judgment.

Meanwhile, the Originating Summons which is to declare last year's AGM null and void, for the membership list as at June 2009 to remain status quo and for reconvening of a fresh AGM to consider the 7 proposed resolutions, is fixed for hearing on 24 May 2010.

Please continue to pray for wisdom and guidance upon the TTG brothers and sisters.

This was an encouragement we received this morning from a Concerned Member, "For I am the Lord, your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear: I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you,: declares the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:13 & 14)

God Bless and continue to Rejoice in the Lord always.
