Limitation law plays an important role in the administration of civil justice in Malaysia. It determines when legal proceedings may be commenced, when rights are extinguished by time, and when access to the courts is effectively barred. The rules of limitation are often deployed by defendants as a threshold defence against actions that have been instituted. Limitation undoubtedly forms a substantive body of rules that shapes outcomes in real and often life-changing disputes.
Recognising the criticality of time-bar, this book provides a vital exposition of the law of limitation currently applicable in Peninsular and East Malaysia. It provides a clear statement of the law relating to limitation of actions in Malaysia and comprehensively examines the ways in which the existing framework may be improved to promote fairness, clarity and legal certainty. The Limitation Act 1953, the Limitation Ordinances of Sabah and Sarawak and other related legislation are closely studied to extract the workings of their intricate details.
This book adopts both an analytical and a reform-oriented approach. It brings together statutory provisions, judicial decisions and comparative material to provide a coherent account of Malaysian limitation law as it stands, while also identifying areas where the law produces unjust or inefficient outcomes. Where appropriate, reference is made to developments in other common law jurisdictions to illuminate how alternative approaches might better serve the interests of justice.
This new addition to the Malaysian Litigation Series will undoubtedly provide a contemporary and up-to-date reference to strengthen the armoury of every litigator which is indispensable to practitioners, judges, academics, and students.

Memories of the journey of a lawyer, legal counsel and judge
Quote from Foreword
“… this autobiography is a must-read not only for what it says but also for what we must infer from between the lines. The author is to be congratulated for the honesty of this work but there is more.”
— From the Foreword by
Dato’ Mahadev Shankar
Retired Court of Appeal Judge
This book traces the life and career of a Malaysian law professional who was born in Kuala Lumpur after the end of the Second World War and lived through the years when an insurrection posed an existential threat to the newly established Federation of Malaya in 1948. A barrister-at-law, a corporate legal counsel and later a judge in Fiji, David Alfred recounts living at the sharp end of the Emergency with his doctor father encountering armed bandits and he himself coming under gun fire and witnessing a dead terrorist.
He was a student in primary school when Malaya became independent in 1957 and a student in secondary school when Malaysia was formed in 1963. He then lived through the Confrontation years. He was a law student in London and saw the setting of the sun on the British Empire. His reflections down memory lane provide a rare view of post-war life in Malaya and personal accounts of the early years of Malaysia.
In an interesting narration of the stories of his life, David Alfred recounts his experiences as a practising advocate in the courts in Malaysia and then as legal counsel in two leading banks in Kuala Lumpur. His legal career culminated with his judicial appointment in Fiji.
This is an account of what it was like to practise Law, to advise on Law and finally to dispense justice according to the Rule of Law. An interesting read for members of the legal community, this book shares insights of the rich history of the legal community in Malaysia and a rare glimpse of judicial life in Fiji.
