The document discusses the procedures for entering an appearance and obtaining a judgment in default of appearance (JIDA) under Malaysian civil procedure rules.
It explains that once served with a writ, the defendant must enter an appearance within a specified time limit, usually 14 days. Failure to do so allows the plaintiff to obtain a JIDA. A JIDA can be final, for liquidated sums, or interlocutory, requiring damages to be assessed.
The defendant can apply to set aside a JIDA within 30 days. For irregular judgments obtained not in compliance with rules, the JIDA can be set aside as of right. For regular judgments, the defendant must show they have a defense on the merits by disclosing evidence

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Order 13 Rule 8 – gives a power to the court to set aside JIDA.
CASE : LAI YOKE NGAN & ANOR V CHIN TECK KWEE & ANOR
Accordingly, when such judgment is obtained irregularly, such irregularity would be sufficient
ground by itself for setting it aside. But where the default judgment has been obtained regularly,
in order to succeed the defendant must file an affidavit of merits, i.e. the defendant must
disclose by affidavit evidence that prima facie he has a defence of merits.
CASE: EVANS V BARTLAM
The principle obviously is that the court still possesses the unfettered discretion to set it aside
any judgment entered if it thinks fit.
Time limit to set aside -Order 42 Rule 13
The Df must apply within 30 days from the date the judgment was served on the defendant.
* Not the date of the judgment*
CASE: FIRA DEVELOPMENT SDN BHD V GOLDWIN
The application should clearly be made promptly and within reasonable time. But the Court will
in a fit case disregard lapse of time.
Factors when Court decide to set aside
1) The Court will see whether judgment is regular or irregular judgment.
2) If it is an irregular judgment obtained in non-compliance with the Rules) the JIDA can be
set aside as of right with cost. E.g; enter JIDA when claim does not fall within Order 13
Rule 1 – 5.
3) If it is a regular judgment, and the Df want to set aside, the Df has to show he has
‘defence on the merit’ – The Df has to raise an arguable and triable issue. A defence has
merits if there is a prospect for you to succeed in defending the case base on the
defence raised.If the Df failed, the judgment will be left as it is.
6. CASE: DIALDAS & CO
If P's judgment is an irregular judgment, Df must show he has defence on the merit to set aside
