Undang-Undang berkenaan dengan Joint Management Body (JMB)


 Joint Management Body (JMB) atau Badan Pengurusan Bersama adalah sebuah entiti undang-undang yang bertanggungjawab untuk menguruskan dan mentadbir kondominium atau apartmen di Malaysia. JMB biasanya terbentuk setelah pemaju menyerahkan pengurusan bangunan kepada pemilik unit kondominium atau apartmen.

Di bawah Akta Pengurusan Strata 2013 (Akta 757), JMB adalah satu entiti undang-undang yang diiktiraf dan mempunyai kuasa untuk menguruskan dan mentadbir kondominium atau apartmen. JMB ditubuhkan apabila lebih daripada separuh pemilik unit di dalam bangunan itu telah menandatangani dokumen penubuhan JMB.

Antara tugas utama JMB termasuklah memantau pengurusan dan penyelenggaraan bangunan, menjalankan peruntukan Akta Pengurusan Strata, menguruskan dana perbelanjaan, dan menyelesaikan sebarang isu atau aduan dari pemilik unit. JMB juga mempunyai kuasa untuk mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap pemilik unit yang tidak mematuhi peraturan atau membahayakan keselamatan dan keselesaan penghuni bangunan.

JMB juga dikehendaki mematuhi peraturan dan garis panduan yang dikeluarkan oleh Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Strata (JPS), yang ditubuhkan di bawah Akta Pengurusan Strata untuk memantau dan mengawasi pengurusan strata secara keseluruhan di Malaysia.

Sekiranya terdapat sebarang pertikaian atau isu yang timbul dalam pengurusan kondominium atau apartmen, pihak yang terlibat boleh mengambil tindakan undang-undang dan memfailkan tuntutan di Mahkamah Majistret atau Mahkamah Tinggi di Malaysia.

I merely shared a defamatory statement made by someone else, am i liable for Defamation?

Image
 WELL YES! A republication of a defamatory statement is also considered to be defamatory. In the case of YB Hj Khalid bin Abdul Samad v Datuk Aziz bin Isham & Anor [2012] 7 MLJ 301, the High Court quoted Gatley on Libel and Slander (8th Ed), at p 117 which states that "every republication of a libel is a new libel and each publisher is answerable for his act to the same extent as if the calumny originated with him". Accordingly, every repost or share of a defamatory statement is considered a new publication because those who do so are deemed to have approved, endorsed or repeated the same. This position was reiterated in the recent Court of Appeal case of Raja Syahrir bin Abu Bakar & Anor v Manjeet Singh Dhillon and other appeals [2019] MLJU 75. Therefore please be careful with what you share in social media as this can land you in very expensive litigation.

Making a WILL can seem like an uphill task, but it is necessary to make sure that all your assets are properly divided when you pass away in line with your wishes and preferences. Don't be fooled into thinking only the uber-rich or complicated peeps need wills. A WILL is a smart move for everyone! Here's why: Call the shots on who gets what when you're gone. Keep those precious assets away from any undesirables (no offense to Aunt Michelle). Handpick who takes care of your little ones. Don't let the courts decide!

Plan ahead to save your estate some cash-money and even do some good in the world with charitable donations. Winning all around!  Well... Many clients have this one question to ask when they call to set an appointment to draw up their WILL. What are the documents and/or information I should bring along for our meeting? Here you go:- 1.      A copy of your IC (I

Unlocking the Legal Potential of Whatsapp: How Chat Messages Hold Weight in Debt Recovery Cases

Image
One question that frequently arises in legal discussions is whether Whatsapp messages can be utilized as evidence in court, even in debt recovery cases. Many individuals mistakenly assume that Whatsapp's informal nature would render its messages inadmissible. However, let me tell you an interesting story that showcases the contrary. Consider a recent debt recovery case, where Mr. Lee was pursuing payment from Mr. Tan, who had borrowed a substantial sum of money. Frustrated with the lack of progress, Mr. Lee decided to turn to Whatsapp messages as evidence of their loan agreement. Now, you might wonder, would these seemingly casual chats hold any weight in a courtroom? The answer is a resounding yes! Allow me to introduce you to the captivating case of Mok Yii Chek v Sovo Sdn Bhd & Ors [2015] MLRHU 196.
