Claiming Damages For Fence
Summary
Perrin can initiate a claim for RM3000 in damages at the Magistrates Court, which handles claims up to RM100,000. For smaller claims, the Small Claims Tribunal is a viable option, offering a simpler process. Perrin should gather evidence, including photos, communications, and land use documents. If the situation escalates, an interlocutory injunction can be sought to prevent further damage. Supporting documents like expert opinions and legal notices are crucial. The Rules of Court 2012 provide guidance on timelines and procedures for such applications. Consider consulting a lawyer for detailed advice and to ensure compliance with legal requirements.Full Conversation
