Azmi & Associates

On the court record

Azmi & Associates appears in the reported judgments as a commercial and corporate-litigation practice weighted toward acting for plaintiffs, and its corpus work sits mainly in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) with a smaller presence in the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). Contract and company law form the backbone of its docket, including a dispute over the enforceability of a consultancy agreement said to be tainted by illegality, and shareholder and corporate-governance matters. Civil procedure recurs prominently — striking out under Order 18 rule 19 of the Rules of Court 2012, applications for an extension of time under Form N and section 38, and interim injunction practice, including an ex parte application challenged for non-compliance with the disclosure and undertaking requirements of Order 29 rule 1(2BA). The firm also appears in construction arbitration, arguing to set aside an arbitral award; in moneylending litigation over a substantial loan advanced under a letter of undertaking; in land and charge foreclosure disputes over consent orders for sale said to have been obtained without proper basis; and in judicial review, including a challenge by a student to a university's disciplinary proceedings (semakan kehakiman — prosiding tatatertib pelajar) alleging a breach of the applicable regulations. Its counterparties in the corpus include corporate and statutory bodies such as Perbadanan PR1MA Malaysia and Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad, together with private companies. The firm's construction disputes extend to setting aside an award under the grounds provided in the Arbitration Act 2005, and its evidence and civil-procedure matters include contested affidavit evidence and the striking out of a suit as plainly unsustainable under Order 18 rule 19. Its property and land work covers foreclosure and the validity of consent orders for sale under the National Land Code, where the borrower challenged the basis on which the orders had been obtained. Across these matters the firm presents as a general commercial litigator with particular recurrence in contract, company, construction-arbitration and procedural disputes, complemented by a public-law strand in judicial review.
