When contacted by FMT, lawyer David Gurupatham confirmed that the suit had been filed, with Xin Jian Chang and its owner Soh Chin Huat named as defendants.
According to the statement of claim, KK Mart said “the defendants had caused sabotage of its lawful business”.
KK Mart said it had applied for Xin Jian Chang to supply arm covers on a consignment basis, and that there was no permission or agreement on the display or sale of any kind of socks.
“The defendants were aware that on Feb 5, two of the three staff at the Bandar Sunway outlet did not turn up for work and there was only one worker who was at the cashier counter.
“The defendants were fully aware that they would be able to place these unlawful goods on the racks of the plaintiff’s shop without supervision. Under the circumstances above, the plaintiff could not have reasonably supervised the placement of the socks nor inspect the goods.
“The plaintiff’s records show that the first defendant placed the offending and unauthorised stocks on the rack on that day. The defendants have therefore deliberately interfered with the plaintiff’s business/trade,” said the statement of claim. - FMT
