“I am confident that [Norchaya Talib on Torts in Malaysia] will become one of the main texts on the law of torts in Malaysia and just like the earlier editions of the late Professor Norchaya Talib’s books, this edition will also benefit many readers in this country.”
Dato’ Associate Professor Dr Johan Shamsuddin bin Dato’ Haji Sabaruddin
Dean, Faculty of Law University of Malaya
The law of torts is an important branch of private law which protects individuals against civil wrongs. This book which draws on the pedigree of the established Law of Torts in Malaysia by the late Professor Dr Norchaya Talib, covers not only the traditional torts such as negligence, nuisance, trespass, strict liability and defamation, but also explores the current aspects of the law of torts law in Malaysia.
There have been significant developments in Malaysian tort law in the past decade. The chapters have been updated and revised by a team of expert contributors to capture those developments in this new book. Maintaining the structure as per Professor Norchaya's noted work, this book attends to new areas and developments in the law of torts through the introduction of the tort of harassment; expanded analysis on the defence of illegality, exclusion clauses and damages; focus on the new developments in the law of defamation, altering the landscape of free speech; and consideration of the extension of vicarious liability. Two additional chapters are included to elaborate on underdeveloped areas such as the economic torts and privacy.
The concise discussions of the principles of the law as well as comprehensive analyses of relevant judicial decisions and legislative provisions will very much assist not only students learning the law of torts but also professionals researching on this subject. This book shall be the current lead reference on the law of torts in Malaysia.

This book seeks to examine the main principles of professional liability in Malaysia with emphasis on the liabilities in tort and equity, in addition to the obligations under contract and written law. While specific chapters are devoted to the law as is applicable to surveyors, construction professionals (exemplified by engineers, architects and quantity surveyors), accounting professionals, doctors and lawyers, the law is examined against the backdrop of the general law applicable to professionals generally.
The book provides the answers to some key questions - in what circumstances would a professional owe a duty to a client or to a third party, what is the standard of care the law demands that a professional should adhere to, and what would be the extent of the liability of a professional where a breach of duty is proved. In addition to the principles of assessment of damages in tort, emphasis is also given to the rules governing equitable compensation.
The authors have helpfully provided a wide range of pointers to relevant developments of the law in Commonwealth jurisdictions for better analysis and to show the way forward for Malaysian law where issues have yet to be decided in Malaysia.

This is a professional guide on the practice and procedure at the specialist Intellectual Property and Construction Courts of Malaysia. Intellectual property and construction cases are often considered as technical and complex, requiring in-depth understanding by the parties, their lawyers as well as judges too. Experts are also frequently involved. The principal object of the book is to demystify the practice and procedure in these specialist courts. The content has been structured in a methodical manner that is easily accessible and comprehensible to the reader.
Starting off with an introduction of the history, jurisdiction and powers of the specialist Intellectual Property and Construction Courts, the book considers the causes of action and defences commonly encountered in both courts. It then delves in the writ action process from start to finish, including several typical interlocutory applications. Originating summons and appeals processes are also given careful treatment. Specifically for the Constructions Court, useful consideration is given to the arbitration and statutory adjudication-related processes.
Throughout the book, relevant Malaysian legislation and case authorities have been cited and discussed. Occasional references have been made to foreign cases to shed light on more difficult areas of practice. The book benefits from the professional expertise and experience of an author who brings with him years of legal practice and judicial experience.
This book is useful for lawyers, law academicians, patent and registered design agents, trademark agents, architects, engineers, surveyors as well as building and engineering contractors.
