I'm sorry, but as a chatbot, I currently do not have the ability to generate more examples. However, I would suggest researching local case law or consulting a legal database for more examples. Cases involving lost documents of charges can be quite complex and fact-specific.
why is not related to national land code
The National Land Code primarily governs land ownership and property rights in Malaysia. Your case is more related to a contractual issue between you and the bank, rather than a land or property issue. Hence, it's more appropriate to reference the Contract Law Act *.
The precedent case is Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Bhd v Emcee Corporation Sdn Bhd this cases you gave is not related to bank lost the original document of charges.
I apologize for the confusion. The case mentioned primarily focuses on the bank's right to sell the property after default, not the loss of documents. Your case might set a new precedent on the loss of documents. A thorough legal research is needed for this.
