Key Experience

  • We acted for Tenaga Nasional Berhad in a claim initiated by Irham Niaga Sdn Bhd. The claim was premised on the lifting of the veil of incorporation and the circumstances which warrants the said veil of incorporation being lifted. In the Court of Appeal, extensive arguments were raised regarding the historical perspective as well as the current developments in respect of principles of lifting the corporate veil. Tenaga Nasional Berhad’s appeal against the decision of the High Court to lift its corporate veil was successful.
  • We acted for Dream Property Sdn Bhd in the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court for a breach of a unique sale and purchase agreement. The appeal before the Federal Court involved novel questions of relief, which included discussion on the common law doctrine of unjust enrichment. The decision of Federal Court is a landmark decision laying down the approach of the courts of Malaysia vis-a-vis the application and adoption of the doctrine of unjust enrichment.
  • We acted for the Regent of Kelantan where the youngest brother of the Regent of Kelantan sought to challenge the Regent of Kelantan’s powers under the Constitution of the State of Kelantan following the incapacity of the Sultan of Kelantan. The dispute concerned the right to succession to the throne of the State of Kelantan as provided for under the Constitution of the State of Kelantan. We were successful before the High Court of Malaya, Court of Appeal and finally at the Federal Court.
