KUALA LUMPUR: National shuttler Lee Zii Jia and his family have reached an amicable resolution at the High Court over a financial and management dispute involving his management company.
High Court judge Justice Leong Wai Hong recorded a consent judgment between the parties after a successful mediation in chambers yesterday.
The judge ordered an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of LZJ Management Sdn Bhd on Oct 31, in line with an EGM notice issued on Oct 16, with the costs of the EGM to be borne by the company.
LZJ Management is the first respondent in the originating summons filed by Zii Jia on July 2.
He also named his father Lee Chee Hin, 59, sister Zii Yii, 30, and brother Tao, 25, as the second, third and fourth respondents.
Justice Leong also issued an injunction against Chee Hin and Zii Yii, as well as their agents or representatives, that stopped them from approving, paying, issuing or causing the payment of any director’s fees, allowance, bonus, reward or any financial benefits apart from their own monthly salaries to themselves from the company.
Chee Hin and Zii Yii were also barred from making any decisions that cause material effect on the management, administration or control of LZJ Management without the prior leave of the court.
The court made no order as to costs.
After the consent order was read out in court by Zii Jia’s lawyer Ahmad Zayd Ahmad Zuber, Justice Leong asked Zii Jia, who was present, to come forward and affirm the order.
“Although he’s famous, (we) must check his MyKad and check whether this is the same person or not,” the judge said to the laughter of those present in court.
After Zii Jia verbally agreed with the consent terms, the court then called the other respondents, except for Zii Yii, who was abroad.
Chee Hin and Tao confirmed they agreed to the consent terms, while Zii Yii’s lawyer confirmed that she had given her consent.
“This is good for everyone. Everyone can move forward,” Justice Leong said.
