Malaysian Litigation Series - Disclosure
Malaysian Litigation Series - Disclosure
2022-8-25T. S. Neng | C. T. K. Seng | D. Nandrajog | N. Devaraja

About the Book

 
Civil proceedings in Malaysia are adversarial in nature with an impartial judge or panel of judges discharging the unenviable task of attempting to determine the truth in making an order or passing judgment. In prosecuting or resisting a claim, it is the role and obligation of parties to discharge their respective legal and evidential burden of proof by presenting or disputing the facts and evidence. To ensure the fair and efficient functioning of this system, compulsory disclosure plays a crucial part.
 
This book sets out the applicable law and procedure relating to disclosure in Malaysia, providing a comprehensive but succinct reference on this important area of civil litigation. It clearly states the law derived from the relevant legislation, case law and the practice of the court.
 
Its thorough coverage discusses the law pre-action, the legal principles and procedure during action as well as discovery post-judgment. Separate chapters are devoted to important matters like third party discovery, objections to disclosure and inspection, interrogatories, further and better particulars and witnesses. The specific consideration of discovery in companies, partnerships, agency and arbitration further adds depth to the coverage of this book.
 
Civil litigators, judges and judicial officers will find this book invaluable for its illuminating treatment of this key aspect of litigation in Malaysia.
 
Key Features
 
  • Clear and detailed commentary on substantive law, practice and procedure, all concisely, plainly and clearly written. 
  • First point of reference on the topic. Useful for practitioners on the go, as well as academics. 
  • Topics are organised systematically and chronologically based on the ordinary course of legal proceedings.
  • Discusses the nuances of the usual tools of disclosure and explores those less commonly utilised.
  • Instructive practical recommendations and court forms & precedents by authors who are experienced advocates and solicitors of the High Court of Malaya.

Malaysian Litigation Series - Interlocutory Applications in Malaysia
Malaysian Litigation Series - Interlocutory Applications in Malaysia
2022-11-30J.L.S. Cui | R.K.C. Ren
“Every seasoned and accomplished practitioner would have first mastered interlocutory work. That is how important this publication will prove to be. … [It] will help re-energise and show how useful a tool this aspect of civil procedure is in the overall context of dispute resolution.”
 
 From the Foreword by
Robert Lazar,
Advocate & Solicitor

About the Book

After the filing of an action in court, a series of procedures and applications can be tactically deployed by adept court lawyers to gain an advantage over opponents. These range from summary disposal to discovery of documents or even an application for security for costs to pressure an insufficiently resourced plaintiff. The proper mastery and deployment of the arsenal of preliminary applications will no doubt contribute to success in litigation.
 
This book explores the wide spectrum of procedures and applications available at the early stage of litigation. It provides a good explanation of these procedures and a thorough analysis of the applicable legislation and case law, both local and foreign. Principles are distilled from court judgments and presented clearly for easy appreciation and application when prosecuting a claim or defending one. Practical considerations are included to assist in the choice of procedure to adopt for valuable advantage in conducting a case.
 
The book has been systematically organised to capture the journey that litigants typically navigate from the starting point when a suit is filed until the finish line when the suit is disposed of by the court of first instance. The relevant steps, tests and requirements to carry out the various interlocutory procedures are carefully analysed and discussed to provide clear guidance for action and references for further research. The illuminating text is supplemented by a handy collection of forms and precedents.
 
The knowledge contained within the covers of this book will prove instructive to younger litigators while they master the nuances of interlocutory applications and helpful to those more experienced as a quick refresher and base for more detailed research. It should also be welcomed by judges and judicial officers as well as teachers and students of civil procedure.
 
Key Features
 
  • A comprehensive resource dedicated to the many aspects of interlocutory applications.
  • Careful analysis of the law supported by ample citations of applicable statutory provisions and case law.
  • Systematic structure and organisation of content to aid easy comprehension.
  • Significant chapters on service & setting aside, summary judgment, injunctions, and summary proceedings for specific performance, possession of land, and disposal of case on point of law.
  • Wide collection of forms and precedents including notices of application, affidavits in support, orders and judgments.

"... a treasure trove of knowledge and information and will be the first point of (quick) reference on injunctions. It deals with the legal and procedural pre-requisites for injunctions in general, and for special types of injunctions as well."

Written and edited by an eminent legal practitioner, in collaboration with a group of expert authors, this publication has been prepared with court lawyers in mind, specifically those with the challenging task of praying for (and prevailing upon the court to grant) relief in circumstances where damages are simply not an adequate remedy.
